RE: Thoughts on Competition...
CMH284,
I agree with you completely. Rule 1A of the Rules and Standards of the American RC Skydiving Association (ARCSA) should be "All Circles shall be painted Bright Red".
I hereby nominate you as the first member of the Rules and Standards committee. There should also be a very severe penalty for anyone that paints the circle any color other than red. Perhaps they should be tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail. Thank you very much.

Your idea of having practice drops for a set amount of time the morning of the contest sounds good. It would give everyone the opportunity to get loosened up. It would be worth giving it a try. Should be interesting to see how it would work out.

Rule 1A forever!!!!
