CD's Competing

[Koenig, Tom]

Ed, 

I used to do it and I found it extremely difficult.  To me, mental
preparations, concentration etc, are almost as important ( or even more so )
than the flying itself. 

The only reason I used to compete was because my mates used to give me
grief..saying its not hard, blah blah blah.  I stopped Cd'ing and made them
run a couple of contests. NONE of them even flew once for their first CD'd
contest. Now they keep their mouth shut.

I guess it all depends on the size of your contest, the help you have and
you yourself. I found I could do a better job when I didn't fly...or at
least I felt I did.

If you end up CD'ing a team trial...I definitely do not recommend flying as
well, it just doesn't work.

Good luck with your decision.

Tom

Hey all

Am curious about opinions on a CD competing in the contest also.

Good, Bad, OK as long as he/she does their job etc.

Thanx in advance.

Ed
