DBF Q&A #5


>Q: Since this year's competition is not based on total weight can we
>reuse the same bottles for the loaded sorties or do we have to use new
>bottles for each loaded sortie?

A: Yes.  The judges will count and record the number of 1 liter bottles 
flown on the "cargo(loaded)" sortie while the airplane is making it's 
"ferry (unloaded)" sortie.  You may then re-load some/all of the previously 
used bottles into the aircraft for the next "loaded" sortie.  This should 
help reduce the number of bottles each team must buy and transport to the 
contest site.

We will be sending information on the contest site (map) and nearby hotel 
accomdations shortly.  I will be on travel until 1 February, and expect to 
send the information out as soon as I return.
