The point I sought to make is that in soaring - just as with automobile

Not trying to nit pick, but is cost really as much of a deterrent to
participating in these sports as the time and mental effort you need to
put in to get and maintain the necessary skills? When you consider the
prices people are happy to pay for spectator seats or the latest &
greatest curved-screen TV just to sit and watch other people exercising
said skills I really do wonder.
