So glad you posted that Tim!! I'm still laughing!!!

That's why bomb drops are ruined for me for life, others groups have no imagination.

And that was Stan at one of his more serious moments at Mentone I never knew what to expect but it was always entertaining.

I had such a great time, can't wait for next year!!!

Is there some way we could make the eggs more visible or use something else? Either a streamer on the egg or maybe a nerf ball or something like that. It would help with the spectators seeing it as well as making it far easier to see on video.

I think size is the factor here. A paper streamer would make them much more visible.

The offset would be the drag created. I used to use streamers as a parachute on my model rockets.

I think this is a wonderful idea.

Tape on a 1 foot paper streamer.
