Very good points, Chris. I especially like the last paragraph. Something
to think about.

	Hmmm.... Cost vs Value of running 2 flight lines?  How much does
time saving cost...?  We'd get to see a lot more flying if only one were
ran with maybe 2 ready boxes and a line chief so flights could rapidly
commence.  Start the contest at 9:00 am and use a good sunspot.  Get the
FAI guys flying first, Masters next etc.  The safety factor would
increase because there would be no carryouts during flying in session.
The pilots would know when they were going to fly way in advance with
plenty of time to mentally prepare.  There would be no fear in flight of
midairs....only intense concentration on maneuvering:-)  Would a person
fly 4 rounds if they knew they had to????   Contests would be a lot more
laid back wouldn't they?

	 

	Is the question of pattern quality, or just how many competition
flights we can get in.  Would we be better pilots with better
performance if we focused more on making each flight count????
