Would you.... ?

"Oooh, it's so difficult to get the time and equipment together to make a VF entry" - heard it before ?

How about if someone arranges to have a camera ready for you, say at a festival, and a suitable place for you to simply turn up and perform ? Would that help you to enter this competition ?

Furthermore, what if someone arranged for a kite to be there, one for everyonewho turns up to make an entry with ? A standard class with equal equipment.

I'm not saying it'll happen (Davey runs VF, no-one else) but I'd like to know if it'd be appreciated.

Of course if you did enter you'd also have to submit a score and we all know how time consuming that can be.

Mike.

I voted 'No' because personally, I like the opportunity to pick my 60 seconds from a good selection of flying, rather than fly for 60 seconds, and that's all I get.

Also, I like my kite - I don't want to have to use some unfamiliar kite to do this.

I do see how this would make it easier for some people to enter though, so I'm not knocking the idea in general, just saying that personally, I wouldn't use such a service.

As well as having someone there with a camara and a kite, could we also have someone else to fly it for us too?
