No, first it was Bill Johns that proposed this, not I...
Second, there was no discussion of doing laps, just who could launch the
highest, and then get down the fastest, and hit a precision
landing. Interesting enough, the guys with the biggest launches will have
the farthest distance to dive for the fastest time down.
Again, I suggested none of this, I just commented that I had the small
device for altitude telemetry already, you know, that weird vario tone that
emmenates around me when you stand close enought to me, and that lady with
the German accent... 8-)
