As I understand it, the model with Joe's airfoil is so good, you don't have to do any flying to get the time, and the MPX radio is programmed to do all the landing. I guess you won't have to go to contests anymore. Just send the model and transmitter and let someone hold it while the model and

CAn I get some ideas as to what pilots are doing to develop their skills for HLG tasks? What are the tasks for contest? I know of Poway, the NAts, the F3 series. What else? Any real fun stuff. Anyone still doing limbos and loops? At one time there was an event where your inverted flight

In my opinion, a lot of the performance is gained or lost in HL in the amount of drag from the plane. With enough flying you can tell with a gentle launch how a plane is gliding; does it slip through the air, or does it drag like flying through molasses. But another big factor in drag, is how
