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, and Chris... I am so sorry I didn't mention you in my response to Bens post. You are so great. You deserve mention in every post about handlaunch and soaring. I mean without you where would we be right? Get over yourself. Bens post was sorighton point, and was not exclusionary. Unless of

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

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
