Aerofly pro deluxe and IMAC Judging Class.

Bill: Thanks for getting this tyupe of info for us. Do you think there is
any way we could get a copy of their presentation to use as a starting
point? It sounds like it would be worth purchasing.

FWIW, this past Saturday I attended an IMAC judging school, inasmuch as I
wanted to see what they were up to! ;-) It was a very professional
presentation, taking 2 days.  (I wasn't able to attend the Sunday
practical at-the-field-flying session because of other commitments) but I
did attend the full-day classroom session.  An absolute highlight of the
class was a G2 simulator, paired up with PowerPoint.  They were able to
project on a large movie screen, in-flight maneuvers, both with and
without mistakes.  These were pre-stored, and they had a raft of them,
illustrating just what common mistakes looked like, just what "cheating"
with ailerons looked like, etc.etc.   It was truly fabulous.  If we had
someone with the talent to make this up, and put it on a computer,
(remember, this was G2, not the latest) such a presentation would quickly
obsolete the tape that is in use today at the NSRCA judging schools. 
They also issued a loose-leaf binder with all the Aresti figures used by
FAI, told how to compose the complete figures from components in the
book, how to calculate K-Factors--indeed everything needed.  Handouts
were given out for different subjects, etc.  and I  couldn't help but
notice that, of the 35 people in attendance, some said they hadn't yet
entered their first contest, (but intended to) and quite a few were
entry-level pilots.
I realize that you asked for the  time, and I've just told you how to
build a watch, but I'd like everyone to digest this and see if we can't
come up with something parallel.

Anyone know how to save “recorded” flights as any kind of standard video
