Re: [RCSE] LSF Discussion update # CAL P. ##
The LSF page has all the Level V achievers and when they completed then. http://www.silentflight.org/LSF_Base/achievers.htm Bob Champine was the first to do Level V twice. http://hometown.aol.com/GRC6431/myhomepage/ And Don Harris has three.

Cal truly is one of the great Soaring Pilots, even without the program his contesting proves it over and over. The fact that he did it twice just reinforces how great a pilot he is and how dedicated he is. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a message dated 9/14/2006 4:24:45 P.M.

Cal Posthuma LSF VV I know of no one else who can call himself an LSF X. (I wonder how many there are) Friends, this means something to me. Does it mean anything to you? Lets stop arguing over LSF.

Re: [RCSE] LSF Discussion update # CAL P. ##
Hi All: I've already started getting e-mails from folks out there in glider-land ... PLEASE - I did not write anything about Cal or his accomplishments ... Cal sent me his writeup and asked that I forward it to RCSE ... I did ... If any one has any comments, please direct them to Cal ... Thanks, Pepper
Re: [RCSE] LSF Discussion update # CAL P. ##
Wrong Pepper, Don Harris has done it three times, and mostly with either wood or bagged ships. He is working on it again, that what happens when you retire.

Re: [RCSE] LSF Discussion update
If its not about changing the LSF, then the title of the discussions should be "New Soaring Program" not "LSF Discussion". I think that will bring focus to the discussion fia seperate class is what is truly desired.

The LSF Level 1 - 5 is what it is and always shall be! It's sacred. Your level V want be belittled. Some people would ust like an additional seperate program/task that is more suitable to there locale/financial/family circumstances. Get it? Nobody wants to change anything - only add on. Seems like the people that can afford a quiver full of moldies don't want the wood workers to have anything to work for. BTW, what is the website of that Canadian LSF-type program? I want to check into something that I can complete with my wood airplane. After all, there are still people who actually build their ships - like they used to do when the LSF was created More power to the Woodcrafters!
