Yes it does. I feel I can mostly fly and call for myself BUT in a flight
group of +6-7 pilots I cant keep track of them all. That is the time I
really need a timer. And I am also reduced in hearing on my right ear (also
because I focus so much that I forget to listen...) so the timer needs to
shout ;-)
One thing is for sure: I went to the Nats knowing that Picolarios was
allowed. And I still wanted to compete since the format appealed to me. If I
thought the Picolarios were so bad I would have worked for a rule change.
But I dont! Though I still feel free to say a few words on the list ;-)
But guys (and girls)!!! It is about time we get a few flight reports also. I
need to know more about that Supra!!!!

I have noticed that the timer makes a big difference. Put a good pilot
with a novice timer (who likes to help) and it can make a negative
difference. Ever had to argue with a timer who tries to tell you "how to
fly" instead of reading the conditions? Ever do what the timer said and
find it was the wrong decision?
Ever have a great pilot as a timer and see your flying improve? I would
think that would make a bigger difference than an electronic sensor. I
would think having the great pilots time for you is more of an advantage
than a marginal pilot using a sensor.
