Yup. Before the Robic I bought another cheapy stopwatch that had the 'countdown-and-continue' mode. I was passed on to me that as timer the stopwatch had to be able to show both the amount of time short or long of the target time, as well as the actual flight time. Further I had to be able show this to the scorer when turning in the person's score card if asked. I just figured I could use my fingers and toes, or even borrow an abacus (needed for my rotten scores!! LOL!) if asked to say what the over or under time was. Ah well... like I said... whatever works! Best wishes... (PS: I might get better if I flew more and typed less, but work and moving make that a pipe dream for the next few months.) ===== --------------------------------------- Jeffrey D.
