Thanks for the info Dave. I thought I saw a presentation at the awards banquet at this months SSA convention that registered contest pilots was around 100 last year and that number had been in decline for roughly 10 years. I think I have a photo somewhere.
I prefer contest soaring by far personally. I have restarted my local contest and strongly resisted the push of many to simply have an OLC contest instead. That was a little to far for me even before I had ever flown a real contest. The OLC is too subjective when comparing flights in different locations or even same locations seperated by any significant period of time. That said, OLC scored contests would be an interesting concept to try one day soon. It would be interesting to see if that concept would improve attendance somehow. Only so much time...maybe this fall I will organize this. |
