It would take too long. The whole idea behind it is to get more flying time for Sportsman pilots. When I started flying pattern, I passed on flying Sportsman and started in Intermediate, simply because I wasn't about to drive 350-500 miles to fly for 20 minutes.... Also, it's good exposure for the Sportsman pilot to get as much flying time as possible in front of judges... They get a lot of feedback and support from the judges and fellow flyers that they
may well not get at there home field...</DIV> <DIV>You learn more flying in a contest than you ever do just practicing without observers. So far, it's worked very well here in D8. We normally only get 3 rounds per day any how.... To tell you the truth, I don't believe we've had any issue on 2 day vs 1 day contests. We always run a 2 day contest and the Sportsman get 12 rounds of flying...
