They had it at Lancaster Woody in August, and some of the pilots were too
wiped out to come back and fly the next day for the standard TD. It is a
great task, but can be really grueling. I clocked nearly 5 hours of air
time to get a 31 min flight. (Object is not to fly 24.5 min of a 25 min
flight). Three minute spread would definitely be better. Don't forget to
have a "required" lunch break to keep the pilots from killing themselves.

Subject: [RCSE] Ladder task for woody contests ( or any type of
construction)
Here is something different for sailplane contests that has a lot of
flying
time and is all about soaring, although a optional landing task can be
included.
I prefer the three minute ladder after running the two minute ladder for a
couple of years at Wood Crafters
