We can try it with the WIMAC Winter Games in March!:D

WIMAC has already done a limbo competition in past funflys. Fun and difficult. We did it in a safer fashion than shown, using crepe paper streamer tied between poles on both sides of the runway. I remember the competition well because I won and also because, in practice days before the funfly, I managed to smack one of the retaining poles, ripping the right wing off my plane. That same evening, I visited Canadian champion Ray who patiently used his expertise with foam to replace the right side of the built-up wing with a foam one.
After this experience, we thought it might be safer for the planes to have humans rather than poles to hold the streamer- this idea was abandoned after a few close calls with the intrepid volunteers running from oncoming aircraft and we deemed it smarter to risk the planes without risking injury.

Yes it's early but we should start thinking about it don't forget lot of training is required

Yes, but it was very funny to see them running for dear life!
I wonder if MAAC would approve...
