Default Minutes of Fall 2014 USA Rules Committee meeting posted on SSA website

Hooray! Ed Kilbourne's prediction will now come true!

"Have you heard the news, that the LS-22s will have nothing on their panel but a screen.
That give the latest views from the satellite you choose and display the sink in red, the lift in green.
There's no stick upon the floor, no rudders anymore, just two wires that you plug into your brain.
A computer reads your mind through a fiber optic line and with this information flies the plane."

From "The New Glider Blues" copyright 1988 Ed Kilbourne
