Default US Competition Pilot Poll and Election

And a gallon of gas was $0.30 back then, too. So do we all stop driving?

Somehow I think the dwindling number of pilots in our sport is not directly related to the US pilot poll and questionnaire . I remember when a brand new glider was about $30,000 now it is $200,000, might be casual?

To Andrez above, what a great point!

Why can't a simple question be included???

And these leaders wonder why soaring is a DIEING SPORT!!

Next year it will come down to one rule...

....Rule #1 - NOBODY HAS ANY FUN.


In a few years, your gliders will be a much lower value. Why? If racing dwindles down to nothing, why does anyone want a racing glider??????
