Set the maximum start alt to an altitude you cannot possibly reach and
start then out the top if that is appropriate. The glide computer will
detect your later start out the side and the time/speed error will be
negligible after you have gone a few miles on course.

Enjoyable responses so far, "Don't be a slave" "be a man" "use a
watch" Thanks enjoyed the help.

The idea of increasing the maximum start altitude sounded good for 3
seconds but you forgot something. It will make a huge difference in
the following scenario: top of cylinder is 10,000 agl. In Logan you
can get up to 17,500+ on most good summer days. The time continuing
to thermal up and then exit the cylinder side would be 15 minutes if
you we climbing around 500 fpm. Last year I didn't worry about the
glide computer so I didn't get all the stats showing average time on
task so far and predicted time over/under. Those stats would be
helpful. I am assuming that most racers are using SeeYou mobile now.
So all you guys at Parawan just ignored the bug, flew out the top and
didn't get any stats? That can't be.
