Montague Cross Country 32 34 R/C Soaring Digest
Challenge 2006 Dean Thomas (dean@steelheadproducts.com) T his year marked the 9th annual Montague Cross Country Challenge at the Siskiyou County Airport just outside of Yreka, California. This annual contest is hosted by Dean Gradwell. His hangars are used as the base of contest operations. The airport is used for full-scale sailplane operations and his hangars house a great collection of radio control and full scale sailplanes. This was my second year in the contest, but it will definitely not be my last. The contest is fun and never too intense, which allows all participants, teams or spectators to enjoy all that the Shasta Valley has to offer. Two winches were set up parallel to the taxiway for the airport. A bicycle or golf cart Photo by Joe Stagg August 2006 33
