<div dir="ltr" class="">Curtis. I love the idea of making the contests easier and shorter in time, but I also think the timer is a valuable asset. So I’m willing to go either way.<br class="">

So we're getting small numbers at the contests recently and I think we need to think about self timing via our transmitters.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">
I would guess that everyone has a transmitter that can do this easily with a little programming.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>

This way we can fly one Group.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">
So like yesterday we had to go out there 10 times to fly five Rounds If self timing we could only go out to the line 6 times and have flown more rounds.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>

I think for the Futaba transmitter I can program the timer to start when the motor starts then make a second switch to stop that after landing. It may be a second or two off from an actual timer but shouldn't make a difference in the overall results.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>

What do you folks think? The negative is that we lose a bit of camaraderie when having a timer/caller and that person being able to point out who is going up or down elsewhere in the sky?<o:p class=""></o:p></div>
