The most noteworthy one, is the addition of a Female WC title.  Each team will be allowed to enter FIVE contestants.  3 traditional team members, one Junior, and one Female.    Like with the Jr pilot, should a woman make the traditional team, we would still be allowed to bring an additional female pilot.

There was legitimate concern that it could increase the cost for both host countries (additional trophies, additional judges if it increases overall # of competitors), and for participating countries having to fund additional pilots, but that was overruled in favor of generating more diverse interest.  We’ll see where that goes.

Starting in 2023, we will be using our unique FAI ID number.  For those that aren’t familiar, for world events we must register and have an FAI license (see Attached)

That will depend some on our internet availability.    PLEASE PLEASE check out our Team Raffle!!!  I’ll be adding another item to it here shortly -  A full Cadence kit (laser cut balsa & Foam w/ plans)
