Re: Indoor Town USA contest report
Don:
Great report with only one mistake that I saw. You have Murph with a time of 8:03 in LPP
which is incorrect.
To the other readers I must remind everyone that our flying site is at an altitude of
approximately 6000 feet. This altitude DOES have an effect on the times, but I haven't
been able to quantify exactly how much. If anyone has an idea about the altitude effect
on duration I would appreciate hearing about it.
