The Barnyard Buzzards will use this list for a field box competition at our meeting. It goes like this...
Pilots who bring their field box have the contents checked  against this list. The total weight of the flight box and all items is divided by the total number of items on the list. The winners are:
The 3 pilots with the highest ratio...
The 3 pilots with the lowest ratio...
A special "Jack Armstrong" award is given to the pilot with the heaviest flight box (provided one person can lift the stuff!)
This is all in fun and helps our pilots share ideas of useful things to make flying more convenient.
