79% More lenient landout scoring per 2006 US rules poll

If you can get 79% of race pilots to agree to anything that is amazing
- surely this can be considered a mandate for a rule change/serious
study. No other poll item was as clearly delineated as this.


One downside of a more lenient landout rule would seem that pilots
would fly more aggessively / take a higher risk of landout, which would
probably equate to more damaged gliders.

I think some adjustment may be worth testing in 2007 regionals.
Let the discussion begin...

Hi Chris:

The risk of damage is different at different places.

Compare Cordele to Moriarty or Marfa for example.

You can't win if you crunch your glider.

Any scoring system, fairly applied, is fine with me.
