How do you feel about remote finish cylinders (away from the airport)?


Uh, remote finish cylinders or gates are not such a great idea, because
you ultimately have to land at the airport. Of course they could put
the floor way up high, but that would be really annoying.

How about control points (last turnpoints) away from the airport?


They are not needed for cylinders, but they are helpful for gates.

Do you think this would have any benefit? Have you flown either
of these (presumably in other countries)?


The Annual CCSC Contest at Avenal is less than two months away.
Everyone from first-timers to grizzled veterans is welcome, and they
loves their finish gate. There is also a PASCO League contest at Avenal
a weekend or two before, where you will likely experience a finish
cylinder. Rather than engaging in endless speculation, why don't you
just reserve the PW-5 and go for it?
