Tuesday Chuckle

Lighten up a bit, guys. I, too, was poking fun at an obvious typo. Hope they will get them corrected, and I hope the weather cooperates so a good time can be had by all.

On another question about possible typos, how is the scoring going to work? Number of entries is max number of points? Then is it based on your percentage of winning speed for your points? The example didn't show this. Used 50 MPH winning, 40 MPH for "Pilot X" and he got 9 points. And no points if you don't finish, correct?

FWIW, I am working on a "Relay Race" format. Two pilots, one or two planes.. First pilot does his lap, hands it over to the second pilot to do his lap. Second pilot can't start before first pilot gets back if using two planes. Can team fly to have one pilot help the other find lift. Either match up glider types or handicap each within the team. Considering minimum time between finish of lap one and start of lap 2 for two plane teams in order to give one plane teams a chance to switch pilots and not lose too much ground. Time for the team will be time on course for each team member.

Sense of humor, anyone? Or should I spell that, humoUr?

so we rag on a guy because he was working to hard for no compensation that
he made a simple error, which if you were flying the comp and didn't know it
was an error, it would say, me thinks, a whole lot more about you than your
abillity to pick nits says about him. I don't think that it is the time or
place to denegrate someone's work if you aren't willing to do it
yourself...my grandmother tought mr that, a very long time ago.

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


700 feet MSL or AGL? Barely matters I suppose at Seminole (120ft AGL).

Reminds me of getting instruction at West Palm Beach. I had been flying exclusively AGL but the instructor asked me to use MSL. With trepidation of the extreme math I would have to handle while in the air, I asked "What is the field elevation?". Answer, "20 feet". Dodged a bullet there.
