I think we may need a couple skill levels like, Beginner, and Intermediate/Advanced.

1) Event ideas for Intermediate/Advanced; spot auto landings, balloon chase/pop, drag race.

2) For beginner; ring pick up, timed take off and land on heli pad.

I can give you more details on what I mean for the beginner events if you want.

I am actually going to buy some stuff to make the items needed for the beginner events tonight. It is something I was planning to do anyway to improve my skills.

There is also a fly between balsa pilons I have seen done in the past.

That is my two cents worth.

We could plant a dandylion in the middle of the field.

The ones I could think of have been named.
