I drove up to SWSA today to meet John Erickson close to halfway so he could borrow my Skip Miller Case to ship his planes back east for a trip, and since I was there, I flew in their club contest. I'm not a member there, but they have a great group of friendly guys who welcome guests. Heck, they even welcomed Gordy!!!
Their landing task was a normal tape, but with a catch. If you went too far and overflew the 100, your score became negative. Just barely go past and you would be LOWERING your flight score. Despite the large number of very high scores, there was only one negative score on the day. (And it wasn't me.) One of the novice flyers had a wing failure on his RES plane, so I loaned him my Oly II. Although he's relatively new, he can read air very well. SWSA is cultivating a new generation of competition pilots, so don't say you haven't been warned when they start cleaning our clocks for us.
