Since I can't buy skill either, I bought a motor.



Now, Now, Eric we don't want to start that *motor* argument again, do we?

That was a *contest* argument, I think!

And lest someone not understand the joking going on here, it's worth
noting that span, motors, and skill aren't mutually exclusive, as Klaus
Ohlmann and others flying in Argentina have shown them to be a potent
combination. Regardless of our individual skills, we all face the
challenge of finding that "sweet spot" combination of glider attributes
(performance, handling, cost, span, motor, competitiveness, etc.) that
will give us the most enjoyment for our money. The glider we end up with
affects the social aspects (who we fly with, when and where we fly), and
the social aspects also affect the glider we choose.
