If you consider flying in a contest without an AH or similar too
dangerous, you should not be considering contests at all. Having a AH in
your panel will decrease the dangers from contest flying by an
immeasurable amount.

I am serious about this: getting sucked into a cloud is not what will
kill you in a contest, and if you believe it is a real risk, you
_really_ need to learn a lot more about contests.
