Dave,
Thanks for clarifying some of the bonus questions, that makes things a little more clear, and I think makes a nice addition to the contest and will stimulate the builders to go for something unique rather than the same thing.
That was the sole intention of the proposal. Something Philip Avonds and others like myself have been looking for for some time. Any insentive to produce a 'real' piece of original craftsmanship has to be better than none at all.

I wonder though why the judges used for static cannot also be used as flight line judges, thus you could operate two flight lines. I would not want to see one as in Top Gun with four planes in the air, but two is not too many. The TOC is a little different from what I have seen, more hovering and close in aerobatics. I know the powers that be do not favor two flight lines, and I am playing the devil's advocate, not intentionally trying to be an ass, sorry....
Ping off an email to Dave Tappin (contacts section of the IJMC web site) He Knows more about the judging side of things than I.

The US is working on trying to get some judges nominated for the pool. The training session may create a little problem in getting them there and properly regimented, but we hope to add at least two to the pool in the future.
Good news on the USA judges Tommy. Great to see and I am sure Dave Tappin will be glad to here it.
