Nope that makes sense. Any height at drop restrictions?
The "donut" is actually a common 3/8" washer with a streamer on it - I
showed one at the meeting last night, and will have one with me at the
Teeland flying nights.

Our thought was just one drop per launch (one "donut" per drop - no "full
auto" mechanisms), but if someone can get several launches/drops in 3
minutes, we will count the closest to the target.

Does that sound good?
