Some interesting thoughts and opinions from a lot of people recently!
Let's ditch this idea that a 'no skegs' rule (in itself) would eliminate
dork landings. I flew in the UK for many years befor moving to the US. At
the local competitions, there were no dork landings, but there was no need -
long grass and a generous in/out landing circle. Then I went to see some of
the F3J Worlds at Upton ('97?) and saw my first dork landings! The nosecone
was the skeg.I now regularly fly AMA TD. I enjoy any sort of competition and the US variation is certainly challenging. I fly with a great bunch of guys and it really would not matter what the format was - I would still learn from these guys and my own skills would improve. Oh yes, the same pilots would still win the contest. If I had a choice, I would go with Tom's idea - man-on-man is my preferred format. I do understand the problems of running a large scale MOM contest and it may not be practical for SWC, Visalia, etc but I will still try to attend because, for me, it is fun!
