"The only problem is we haven't lengthened the tasks to keep up with the increased performance of our models." Do you really think lengthening the tasks will really do much more than reducing the number of rounds we fly rather than actually challenge our current equipment. Other than late evening rounds in F3J Finals (which I have never flown in)or really early morning starts (which I have flown in) I do not see the increase really affecting anything. Generally speaking if you have 10 minute air during the day, you have 15 0r 20 minute air as well. Most guys fly to a spec in the sky in the first 7 minutes and then speed down to set up for a landing. For The Landing Whiners (DP this not directed at you) As for landings, generally speaking the only people I have ever heard complain about landings are those that can't generally get points. Guys, it ain't going to matter how change the landing, the time or anything else, the Guys like DP, JW, Russ Young all the rest of the guys you see at the top of the page are always going to be there because they get out a practice. No more flying than I get to do these days, hell I am happy to get to fly I don't have time to worry about what the landing looks like or is scored like, I am too busy having fun. I will say this though, no matter how little practice I get in, I am always game to join the landing for quarters or dollars that go on at most contests. No there is having real fun with your buds.
