staring to encroach way into the landing and takeoff zone. That would have to be
considered now as a judges ok to land/takeoff criteria.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>By the way several years ago one of the practice
fields at the NATS did have about a 30deg. overlap at center.
Most who tried it started waiting and flew one at a time, or went somewhere
else. The peripheal flinch factor was too much.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Mark I was just going to say that nobody had mentioned the sun yet with
the offset it would put the sun in play both in morning and evening, according
to field orientation.</DIV>

Total of 60' offset between the two lines. This would put the box
