[J N Hiller]

Isn't the bag put in the airplane? It'll be there when you need it.

Sounds like you guys should tap the club budget for a rake and a large box
of Hefty bags.

Oh yeah, it's still a good idea to run from the scale airplanes! Especially
at my club field!  LOL

I'm certainly not THE expert... I'm just going by my observations of pattern
now to pattern when I was a kid. Like Stuart said, nothing beat a nose high
take-off or landing down the centerline... and not many could do it. At
least back then the only planes I remember running from weren't pattern
planes, but scale planes!

I used to always lose bets with my brother for the best take-off and
landings cause his Ugly Stick was the perfect plane for that. He would line
it up on the center line and roll down the runway, lift the nose just before
the judges and break ground just after... 10. And then do the same thing for
landing and get 10's there too. But his loops always ended up in the next
county so I won the flying bets.

FAI doesn't need to have scored take-offs and landings... we don't have time
for it. But I don't see why AMA shouldn't be scored (and taught) on
take-offs and landings. If you're a good pilot, then these should be freebie
points for the taking.
