Oh yikes 😭 Never mind, ignore what I said about flying solo being easy--
Is there any platform you can clamp a torque meter or winding stooge to? I've used countertops, rails(uhhh maybe don't do this unless you have 4 bright neon DeWalt clamps and iron nerves), a chair, stools, my toolbox, and a bunch of random other things.
there are so many types of birds and i enjoy looking at all of them

I have—get this—a ✨cardboard box✨

It works fine for the most part. I attached some nonslip feet and put a 2 pound dumbbell inside so that it wouldn’t move. I just have to kneel in order to wind,

Oooh that's smart!!! I just have toothpick arms so I'm too lazy to carry around dumbbells. But then again, my toolbox probably weighs more than 2 pounds... and that's not counting the other 4 boxes I need to carry to competition.
Whoever came up with the separate impound box per plane really hates the competitors this year... Like c'mon, the stack of boxes I carry is taller than my head.

I knowwww. Who wakes up to write the rules of one of the most competitive events in Science Olympiad and goes: “Hey, what if I made them carry more luggage than a family of four moving to Thailand?”. Smh.

And the dimensions of the plane for Div. C? Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh...
Love that description though haha!
Seriously though, I don't get why the ES couldn't just bring the box. Saves a lot of time.
