Last Thursday, eight brave pilots met to prove that an F5J competition is possible with no timekeeping duties. Every one of us had a GliderKeeper inside our models.
You get comfortable with it very quickly, after using it a couple of times.
After reviewing each device's configuration, we simply ran a single group, eight-in-a-row, six-round competition. It took us only two hours to fly everything.
You can see the results here: gliderlink.net.
Obviously it was not a top-level competition — and the more important the event, the more people are needed for organisation. That's exactly the overhead we want GliderKeeper to help reduce.
And there were awards for the podium: since we were in Valencia, the prize was a kilo of paella rice!
Thanks for reading, and we hope you liked it. Comments and questions are welcome at support@gliderkeeper.com.
