Default Gordon Boettger Glider Record Attempt - Mon 03/21/2016

I agree with you there. They are taking the time applying the energy and planning to streatxh the limits. All I am advocating for is that there is another vector available for limit pushing. There is a spoken and many times unspoken bias in our soaring world against low performance flying. When I see it I respond in an attempt to maybe help change that bias just a little. I applaud every great flight be it a high performance bird or one that is low.

I just wish folks would give credit anywhere they see it. Sorry for being ever on this soap box but I feel the low-performance=incapable-or-amateur attitude is a large reason we see our glider flying ranks diminishing.
