[KENNYGLIDE]

BIXLER COMP.........Working on the scoring system ......and have updated the launching and landing format after our conversation at the field on Thursday..... 30 second countdown to takeoff... 1 minute up until Motors off..... no altimeters required.... go as high as you like in that 1 minute or even head off and find a thermal if you're lucky...... after motors are turned off there will be 5 minutes flying time until landing..... the 1 minute of MOTORISED flight will give people with slower planes a chance to better position themselves higher in preparation for the 5 minute free flight to the finish.... this will save the last minute rush trying to install the height limiters.... we only have 5 altimeters and it seemed a bit confusing ....some trying to use telemetry,....others not using anything,...some of the altimeters on the wrong height settings... and other limiters seemed a bit dodgy with the connections. Hopefully this system will work ....and we can use the altimeters when we are a bit more organised and also for the larger gliders.
