>>I will further suggest to all forum members, most of whom are NOT
competition pilots……… definitely no circuits !! {edited}
Here is the logic. We fly a standard circuit, because over time it
has
proved to the the best and safest thing to do. During comps, we are
prepared to compromise safety. More people die in comps than during
non-competition flying.
Is it any wonder that most glider pilots are not comp pilots!?
