Akihiro,
The competition will most likely be held in a gym with open girders. The only
contingency I have thought of for this is having the kids use a laser pointer
mounted to shoot vertically and pointed at an open space between the girders and
then launch the Heli in the beam. Hopefully, with little drift we should be able
to hit the open spot we aim for. I still need to test this system. The other
side of this issue is that all contestants will face the same obstacle unless of
course the kids can convince the judges to let them fly in the hallway out side
the gym, which is unlikely.

Bill and Steven san,
Nice flight. But...will the SO contest be held only in scrubable ceiling
room? If not, do you have a countermeasure for no-scrubbing flight?
Good flying, Aki
