4 Hang Row Nine Wings and lockups.

Each additional echelon will be chosen from the "Pool" of talent available.
Good individual flying skills, team skills, and attitude will be criteria for selection

Since we have seen so many people interested in CRW and improving their skills we would like to have all those capable attend. We don't want to merely hand pick the best and bench the rest. If we are to continue enlarging our community we want to include as many as possible. However, lack of skill, dangerous flying, poor team skills and bad decisions may be grounds for disqualification.
