Actually enter the contest, arrive onsite at 0630, unload 5 planes between two people (usually packed in fairly large boxes), field equipment, canopies, ice chests, transmitter cases, food, chairs, and other sundry items. Travel around the maze of cars, campsites and planes to your little spot of Visalia. Make several trips. Repeat this process at least twice, maybe three times if you practice on Friday. Darwin was not making a point about a spectator having to walk a short distance. He was talking about the situation I outlined above. However, as a well known aficionado of sarcasm, I was duly impressed by your post. Well done!! Bill Malvey RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
