If you focus on and accomplish your C, Bronze, and Silver badges in 2016, the plan to fly a contest in 2017 is quite realistic. Especially if you spend some time in the winter of 2016 - 2017 reading up on contest flying. Go for it! Lou I would add that setting aside a few days to visit a contest would be very worthwhile. The things that can be learned by going to pilot meetings, meeting pilots and getting some hints, maybe pitching in to help the launch or do a retrieve are invaluable. Plus you will meet people who can act as mentors while you get going. Caution- addicting- it makes you want to do it. UH
