I am perfectly willing to accept the premise that if two days were
scheduled for DLG that 60 or more participants would show up. As a

Ben,
I have never been so insulted as what you have posted here. Perhaps
Jeff and Bret are just as insulted.
I have been flying HLG longer than you

time and finances permitting.
I think Ben made some good points.

I went to the NATS last year. Came in 33rd. in Unlimited. No one mentioned my
name as attending. Should I be insulted? I'm not, as I do not need the pat on
the back from my fellow
Hey Ben, thanks for the passionate write up. I, for one, whole heartedly agree with you. Particularly about the part about HL being the best and most productive gateway, or portal to RC soaring.
As you know there is so much talk about how to get new people, and young people into Rc Soaring, and

Oh man, it's just prostrate exams and midnight trips to the bathroom from here

Uhhh, you're not prostrate for a prostate exam. That's the other
I also agree with Ben in that Handlaunch is breathing new life into soaring. We
have seen it here in St. Louis. While there may not be many new members
produced from it yet it sure has rekindled excitement from many of the current
members. I, like Chris, go back to the beginnings of HLG. I

So y'all have probably heard my whining about the lack of 2 days of

Well for what it's worth. I like to fly contests and have had help learning how
to practice from arguably some of the best pilots in the country.
I fly only RES and unlimited at this point as far as contests go, but I do have
a hand launch and really like flying that as well. If I were going
