As far as I can tell there is no eSAP section on the web site. Is that correct? Is one being prepared?
I don't see an announcement of the passing of the proposal in the news section either, only the proposal.
The site on RCG that announced the vote in February is locked. Other than the vote count there is no other information.
I would like to point our club members to the information about the eSAP since almost all new members to our glider club are starting out on e-gliders.
A few questions, and sorry if this is provided somewhere else. As I understand it the eSAP tasks will mirror the SAP tasks to a large extent. The assumption is that the gliders are self launching via electric motors, but are motors required?
1- Does the slope task have to be done with an e-glider? Our club members often fly e-gliders on the slope but wondered if it was a requirement to qualify for the slope task.
2 - Same for goal and return. Does it have to be an e-glider? If one is working the eSAP and flies the XC nats, for example, to do a 2K goal and return, does the glider have to be self launched to qualify?
In essence I am trying to understand where a motor on the glider is required and where it is optional, if that is the proper expression.
Clearly the typical contest requirement will be electric launched so that is not in question. It is these other areas where I am not sure how the program will work.
