Dang that 700 foot minimum start height is a bugger. I wanted to
start right on the deck. :-)


2. Penalties include but are not limited to: ... e) entering any
Class C, E or other restricted airspace. ...

And with a penalty for entering Class E airspace (above 1200ft AGL,
in most US Airspace), it should be a very interesting race!


Carp if you must, but that 700 foot start height is bound to increase
spectator interest!
