clockwise and counter clockwise. The second maneuver is the touch and go. We will place a
pole about 75 feet away from a pad. You start on this pad and fly past the pole then land
back on the pad. You must have your skids on the pad before you lift off to go around the
pole again. You finish when you land back on the pad on the fourth lap. The person with
the shortest time wins.
