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
