Default Open Discussion; Creating XC pilots

Noel, that's an interesting observation, and one I've never heard before. My club does lose people to the long training process, and that might indeed bias others to not try XC. We'll have to start pointing out that if they've earned a ticket they're 90% of the way towards becoming XC pilots. Thanks!

-John, Q3

Another issue that I think is subtly at-play: in the Club environment where instruction is already slow, students may naturally make the assumption that XC training - being an "advanced" topic - is going to be even slower than primary training was.
