Hmm... according to Mr. Stump, those who fly RES are only there to "get
their chance at the podium" - fliers eager for a scrap of the fleeting fame
that comes from getting "wood'. What does that say about the Nostalgia
fliers? Sorry, Mike, some of us still enjoy the challenge of 3 channel
flying or seeing a gaggle of completely different sailplanes. May we
apologize for taking away from 6 days of unlimited - not!

Jim, & Jim,
I obviously didn't choose the right verbage in talking about RES... heck I
flew in the event last year and this year.. however it is 3 channel
flying... that is, limited function sailplane flying.. i.e. really an entry
level sailplane format that many of us still occasionally enjoy.. and as I
maintained, RES likely deserves a day to itself.. but not at the cost of 2
meter or unlimited formats..
witness:
JoJo flying much of a max with his tx laying on the ground... thomas and
friend flying on each others laps.. chairs on the flightline for pilots and
timers..
what other examples do i need to bring.. it isn't the same challenge OR the
same contest environment..
no need to even think about apologies here..
as for nostalgia? ask the dwindling numbers... 25 flew it this year...
maybe the idea of NOS and HL sharing a day has some merit..
