One good way to get info at contests is the after contest hours, like at
West Baden for example, when people go out to dinner after the flying is
done for the day, or just sitting in the atrium after flying. That is a
great setting to get info and details from people when no contest time
limits are in effect. Especially if it is a complex issue. Same with the
indoor Nats. Lots of info can be exchanged over a pizza and a beer at a
local greasy spoon, or during a lunch break.
Another way can be to time the person you want to ask a question of.
That always works to get info out of me at least at a contest. Assuming
my plane is not in desperate trouble of hitting a wall or hanging up and
I need to steer. If just cruising around, feel free to ask away. I do
that to people even if not timing them :-)
