New Contest Pilots
I have been following multiple threads over time discussing how to get more pilots to become competition pilots.
I had the pleasure of flying in the Region 10 North contest. The contest is specifically advertised to be "beginner friendly" and has 2 competition classes - Club and Low Performance. Great! I am both a beginner and own a PW-5 so I qualify as Low Performance - both my sailplane and my competition skills  I had a great time. When I got home, I looked at all the remaining US contests and did not find any that appeared to be Low Performance friendly. A number of us at R10N were rookies and flew Low Performance sailplanes. And, a number of the pilots were no where near Social Security eligible. I would encourage any contest organizers for 2015 to consider adding this class to their line ups. Lou
