I am planning a trip to Marfa TX for next summer. Several pilots in the group want to attempt long flights, including some FAI length O&R and Triangles. 300km, 500km, 750km and 1000km lengths. These lengths put you over a lot of ground. I'd like some advice from experienced Marfa/Hobbs pilots on which areas, turnpoints and directions offer good soaring, better landout areas - especially beginning and end of day. Most importantly advice on areas to avoid. I thought of looking at some of the contest tasks that have been flown out of Hobbs but that is a bit away and I would not know what the pucker factor was as the pilots overflew some of the areas. thanks Chris
