It's also important for your timer to be someone other than yourself.
I remember one of my first contests stepping up to the winch with my
Great Planes Spirit, butterflies in my stomach and no timer. The winch
master asked me where my timer was and I said that I didn't have one.
He informed me that I needed a timer in order for the flight to count.
I asked him if he'd time for me and he said that he couldn't. I found
a timer and proceeded to fold the wing of the Spirit on launch. Good
times, good times!
Mike
