Well, that's almost entirely a done deal. It's control line (model airplane) precision aerobatics. Last year I was in the beginner class which is for, well, beginners. It features an abbreviated pattern with all the really hard maneuvers taken out.
This year I'm moving myself up to intermediate*. All this winter I've been struggling with trying to get my planes to work right with bigger tanks that can hold enough fuel to make it through a complete pattern, but when it hasn't been windy it's been raining buckets -- so I haven't gotten a whole lot of practice in.
So, "how will you place?" is pretty much predestined to be "at the bottom". "Did your plane(s) survive?" is more of a mystery -- I'll report on that one on Sunday. Or, given bad flying, maybe Saturday.
- It has been pointed out on numerous occasions that judging for beginner and intermediate is way harder than judging for expert. In expert the rounds are round and the squares are square, and you can pretty much count bobbles and subtract 1/2 a point each. In beginner and intermediate you often have to start by asking yourself "what maneuver is that supposed to be?" and go from there.
