Hi Lads, weve been flying a few yrs now and this yr we really want to have a good go at the distance.. ive seen on a few dvds that they only select a few races before the big one is this what most of you on here do? also how do u prepare a bird for the distance ie: how many races do you like them to have as a yb then yearling and when u pick a long race how many races would you like them to have and what length of time on the wing ect... really interested in all your opinions as im only just starting to fly the distance this yr so any help would be great Cheers lads H & M
