Default Soaring not compatible with modern society?

I'm wondering how much the modern reluctance to land out and desire for collision avoidance technology is driven by an underlying fear that if society knew about soaring, society would ban it.


None at all that I can see.

Smart people simply want not to collide with other **** in dense traffic environments. You've been getting grief because you have been making fun of others' interest in behaving responsibly.

Landing out... well, landing out is just a lot of work. My last landout went just about as well as it is possible to go, but it still took nearly seven hours to get home. Last year I had one that was ten.
