Scott,

I would highly advise that you attend the judging clinic April 9th and 10th down at Charles County RC. It's just below PGRC and less than an hours drive for you. I say so not so that you will judge but so that you will know how to fly the manuevers so that you will get the best possible score. You will want to know what the judges are looking for.

Bubba- I would suggest that it would be good for you to do too if you can make it.

I would suggest Basic to start- there are some good flyers in Basic and Sportsman so you can be sure that the competition won't be too easy. I wouldn't get too worried about the take off and landing sequence- there's not much to it- just take off, fly a trim pass or two and enter the box from the direction of your choosing.

Will look forward to seeing you and Bubba at the contests.

Dave

PS- I don't want to hear about how you can't get that Cap ready to go...... I'm almost done with its replacement....
