LOVE IT - however, some caution must be used. When the wind is blowing real hard, and the RC wants to shorten, then a gun should be used. The racers cannot hear the horn. Please understand tho, this system is no substitute for knowing the starting sequence - Flags are the final word, horns etc are not, so you MUST get the flags up on time and in proper order.

There is no more pre-warning warning. To start, press the button and raise the class flag simultaneously. When the first race is started a new sequence will start automatically after one minute. When all classes have started, or if you do not want another sequence, just hit reset. Did a little re-program for Thursday Racing. There is no more pre-warning warning.
