Old Folks Poll
On Tuesday, November 3, 2020 at 4:41:15 AM UTC-8, Roy B. wrote:
I thought it might be fun (and healthy) to start a poll or discussion for the guys and gals who have been in the sport for + 25 years or more. So, my question for those people is : "What is the biggest change you have seen in the sport over the years you have participated?" For me, the biggest change was the widespread adoption of GPS - which changed everything about flight recording, contests, contest tasking and badge flying. Second place goes to the newer trailers which are so much better than what we struggled with in the old days. Third place might be OLC . . . What do you think? ROY Like Les Arnold was in Fremont, the 2-33 was the trainer of choice, complete beginners soloed in 12 flights, Diamonds were rare, fiberglass was only for floating on the water and carbon fiber was not invented. Bruce Patton 96S Still flying the HP-18, RV-10 and got a coffee cup from the SSA for 50 years membership |
