These would be demos and would not count as a contest flight but allows FAI F guys to get some judging exposure. I have no doubt some of the FAI guys who don’t fly F would be willing to Judge the one or two FAI F guys or even a few Masters flyers. These F demo flights could be flown at days end on either day or however a CD wants to fit them in. Lunch break perhaps. </li></ol><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">I know first hand that a few FAI guys insist on flying F at local contests so they get judging exposure and as a result they have no one to play with. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">For this to work, all CD’s in all districts would need to adopt removing F from all local events.
