I might try that. I flew slope quite a bit when I first came out to SOCAL
but grew weary of it quickly.

I think I might be responsible for adding skeg to the soaring lexicon, something I'm
not particularly proud of.
For our use, its skeg, not skag*, not skegg. Skegs are located aft teeth are forward.
Before committing to advertising and packaging copy, I went to the library and looked
up skeg in

FYI,
I may be speaking for the CD (he's not on the RCSE) but unless
something changes, the upcoming SWC will allow the use of skegs.
Regardless, if you blow through the landing area, hit the short safety fence, or
bystanders you'll be zeroed for the landing points.

Don't regulate them.
Although I personally feel skegs are unnecessary -- eliminating them make landing tasks harder, and anything that makes competition a little tougher is a good thing -- that is not likely to be a majority opinion in the US -- and why waste the ink adding to the rulebook unless

Putting B and C together is not correct as even the

The MAAC regulations are mostly FAI with some AMA thrown in for good measure.

Well, how about reducing the emphasis on landing and creating an

on target. Poi

won't be required. But nobody seems to want a reallistic scale landing. A
