Default Hard Deck

I'm sorry to disagree. Occasional very low saves, flying over dicey terrain, flying through thunderstorms, marginal final glides to whatever the rules allow, are part of winning contests too. Yes, this will not turn a mediocre pilot into a winner. But winners have to take whatever calculated risks the rules allow. Stories on all of these abound.
