Meeting Day

Today the roll is called by team numbers.  We must be here and answer roll call.  Today is the first day of meetings and tomorrow is the day everything is discussed including the rules, the fly by instructions at each of 9 stops.  These are very important to insure that your time is recorded down to a tenth of a second.  You can either choose to fly by to continue or fly by to land.  We do not have enough fuel at race power settings to fly by to continue so must stop to get fuel.
So much planning goes into this race and the excitement is in the air as we all try to update our IPads with the route, learn new technologies and prepare to launch by number on Tuesday morning.  First stop is Mountain Home Idaho.
