Go for it Bill!! I really did enjoy the work I put into my Level III status. My intent is not to minimize the value of the LSF program. The Goal and Return I had to accomplish for Level III was amazing. It was eye opening at the time that an unpowered model could fly that far. This was done with a 3 channel original design poly ship back before 1981. Also, participating in the program did truly improve my flying skills.
The logistics involved with attaining my Level IV and my failure to document previous achievements have made that level unattained so far. I have had that voucher since '81 with signatures of soaring icons who are no longer with us and they were instrumental in fostering my capabilities with what little knowledge I have of the sport. I happy with my accomplishments even though many times I fail to realize the potential that they saw in me. ;^( Guys, LSF is an excellent program that will rapidly improve your R/C Soaring skills. True some of the requirements are directly associated with contests. Contests do provide a reference to one's ability and knowledge of an activity that cannot be measured any other way. So, request your own voucher and begin to improve your own flying skills. Plus, go out to your local sailplane club's contest and just participate. You will learn new skills and I am sure you will find sages that will help you along as they did myself.
