Again, my opinions only, and keep yours opinions coming -- the RC
wants to hear from everyone on this issue.

Yes -two scoresheets and a AAT with big circles should make the idea
viable. Then the little guys can use the big boys as a yardstick to see
how they did. Good Idea!

I flew one contest in Sports Class recently, in a ASK21, and Sam flew his
ASW27 (painted to look like a LS-1f). A V2bx and an LS4 were neck and neck
with him for the most part. (Cordele Reg 5 So.2007) Sam did very well
against the newer ships.

I normally fly something with higher performance and had to constanly
remind myself ( forgot a few times and paid the price) of the difference.
But I think the tasking was compatible, given the large size of the
circles. The K21 and the V2bx were outside the club class limits, so we
would have been flying Sports anyway. The LS1f, LS4, and Libelle could
have elected Sports or Club. Only big difference I see is one more
"HowIdunit" speech.

Oops--my error
There was a V2c in the mix, but the V2bx was actually a LS3a!
But if you look at the results, you'll see that the mix was pretty good. And
the AAT pretty well solved the tasking problem. Newbies want to be part of
the action and measure their progress. So tasking should allow comparison
with the performance of the experts. A dual scoresheet does this, and still
allows the Team aspirants to compete with each other.
