I once got a several guys to build one or more Skeeters, and we all modified
them so that there was not even one in the group that was "stock". We flew
the heck out of them all that summer and had more fun thermalling, sloping
tree lines and backyard walls... it was really great.
Mentioning that model sure brings back some fun memories!

I think it is abundantly clear the path that is needed to be taken in
soaring to restore it to all its glory. Yes, I am talking about the
complete prohibition of all but one aircraft from soaring competition.
The one and only aircraft that shall be used is the venerable Skeeter, and
it MUST be built by the pilot. This will restore the need for building
skills and also positively determine who the best pilot is. Anyone who can
keep a Skeeter aloft from more than a few minutes truly is a a soaring
God!!
So there it is, the salvation of soaring is the Skeeter. Who'd a thunk
it??
