So how does the math work out at your club ?


Include consideration of what it costs for you to use the field, and any
assistance you get from the government. Remember that in the US soaring
is purely a private endeavor, as are most art forms, with no subsidy
from
anybody.


We have a totally new government in the US now and they seem more than
willing to take over and control what once were private
decisions/endeavors.


Banking - yes, gliders - no.
