It may not be necessary Don, but it is effective. How many competitions
have you won in your ASWs (of any type)?

Jim, what's this got to do with argument? A BGA National Coach said of
one top UK competition glider pilot "The only time the slip ball is ever
in the middle is as it crashes from one side to the other!" Top
competition pilots are very good at knowing WHERE to fly to find the best
lift and do not necessarily have to have perfect handling skills.
