Ask the airport manager if you can paint a big wide stripe across the
runway and set up the cam to sight down the stripe. Any judging/scoring challenges can be resolved by video replays for a contribution to the "refreshment" fund. Morgans wrote: Closed circuit TV, and a Big Screen by the pool, to view the touchdown? g |

I've always seen it as dust tape or reflective tape that can be removed after the spot landing contest.

As long as you guys are gonna have so much fun...what about a flour
bombing contest? Put a one pound bag of flour in either paper or plastic and the "bomber" drops it out a window or the door while the "Captain" does the flying and safety stuff. Yeh it makes a mess for a while but no one seems to care a whole lot and its all biodegradeable if you use paper bags. One helllllluva lot of fun as well as instructive. You can limit the number of tries to make it competitive. When we finished the crop dusting season we'd do a flag drop contest and try to drop a flag into a bucket sitting on the runway. Amazing how tight the contest got and how nit picky we got about accuracy. Then we'd go drink beer and eat delicious BBQ, tell war stories and make some up as we went along. Kind of keeps the fun in flying. Rocky |

Hey
I was ferrying a helicopter one time and saw a spot landing contest going on. They didn't allow me to participate after I got into a hover and worked around to land exactly on the spot. No one ever explained the rules before hand and I'm still miffed that I didn't get the trophy of the tire mark. Geeezzz, maybe they'll make a new one with skid marks? Oh well, I can understand the weird thoughts of the phyxed wing pilots having been one in a different life...ggg |
