I have never flown in a competition, I have only crewed, or been a member of
a host club or part of the organisation.

It seems to me that any country which wants their pilots to do well in
International competitions, would be sensible to use exactly the same rules
and regulations for National comps. as are currently used for International
comps.

If you do not like something in the rules, then work to get the
International rules changed rather than doing something different
Nationally.

An important part of International competition is team flying. At one time
U.K. pilots were being regularly beaten by pilots from countries who were
using effective team flying. A deliberate effort has and is being made to
coach the U.K. team, in particular in team flying, this coaching starts with
the Juniors.

Nice flying!

Us colonials need to learn a thing or two from you limeys.

Better yet, why don't you start using our bloody racing rules - that
will get Yanks on the podium in a heartbeat!
