When the US went to all GPS start gates, I asked the rules committee if we
could drop the contest ID, under the wing, as it would no longer be needed to
run the old ground controlled gate. It was decided to retain the under wing ID,
so that other pilots could see just *who* they were flying with.
The wing ID is oriented so it can be read from the front (for old gate) and
appears up-side-down to those in the same thermal. So, now I ask. Can we orient
it, right-side up? Not that I'm itching to scrub it off and then repaint it,
but how about new ships or those used ships in new hands?
