Fellas, this has all been covered in the Weenie Manifesto as promulgated by the Weenies of Soaring and leaked to outsiders by someone on the Grand Weenie Council. You can go to the Yahoo soaring group where our archives are stored, Files section, and see a file there of a post from March 7, 2002 (weenie.pdf).

The Weenie Manifesto, for those who don't remember, clarifies all that was wrong with our sport in 2002 and remains wrong today. Its three Articles are designed to straighten out the issues of expensive planes, unfair contest rules, and the present topic, viz., the LSF program. Article III is reprinted below for your delectation. Article III. Weenie Achievement We, the Weenies of Soaring, find nothing so preposterous as the endless list of tedious requirements for the various LSF levels. Why are the time requirements so long? Why not rethink the distance tasks so they can be accomplished without leaving the club field? The contest requirements are the most incomprehensible. A win is a win, no matter how many competitors were in the event or what their ability. Originally, we wished to demand that the LSF overhaul their outmoded and convoluted achievement program. However, we despair of ever talking sense to that stubborn organization. Therefore, we have adopted our own achievement program. We are proud to announce the Weenie Wings Soaring Achievement Award, which has not V but VI levels, thus immediately establishing its superiority over you-know-who. Every task is well within the ability of all Weenies of Soaring, and can be completed without inconvenience or discomfort, so we are certain that this award will quickly gain wide recognition and acceptance. For full details, see our website, and you'll soon be on your way to earning your own Weenie Wings. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
