Thanks for the input Scott and Kirk. Scott, a typical contest may have 4-6 rounds, with just a few having more, and it usually a one-class contest. We will probably be flying 2-3 heats in Open B, 2 heats in 2610, 3 heats in SSC and 2 heats in 2548. Assuming 10 rounds each, that is 20-30 + 20 + 30 + 20 means 90 - 100 heats, plus Limited B. That is a pretty full schedule for four days, and the team that helps Rick run the contest, fine folks like Lou, Don, Roy, Tim and others, will be quite tired by then.

If you would like to schedule a marathon contest, I'm sure you'd get takers on it. I'd contact the class leaders and get their input and commitment to attend, then build a team to support the contest.

Best of luck!

Ed,

Still being somewhat old school I enjoy the classes that are free of rpm limits, wieght restrictions, etc. a little more so than SSC and 2548.

As such I had thought not to try lim B, especially since there are no contests in my corner of the country to go to.

But since I'll already be there, as long as I have planes left over I don't mind giving it a try. Count me in.
