In a contest flight with a 25mph quartering wind, who the heck has the time to look at all this stuff anyway?

By all means, use it during practice, but during competition give me a beep or a buzz only if the plane's about to blow up. Otherwise, it's just a distraction I can do without.

During practice for the Canandaigua contest, a guy stood out at the 150-meter pole and indicated whether a model was inside or past the pole, and I can tell you that 150 meters is shockingly closer than I previously assumed.
