Hi: My son and I reached level 4 very quickly back in the early 80's when everyone was working on LSF. Now it is more difficult to find two level II,s to witness, than to get points or go to contests. There are many more contests now than then, Then, in the ECSS, there were maybe 6 or 7 contests each summer. I still GREATLY admire those who have reached level V and the few who have reached Level X. Each part of the country has its own advantages, good thermals or great slopes. Some parts of the country have it very easy to do the goal and return, BUT, the contest requirement is the ground leveler. It was do a great diservice to those that have gone before to change the requirments. Why don 't you just form a new organization and don't do the contest thing. I'll bet if your LSF V was LSF V* instead, a lot of us would just grin and walk away!! I would rather remain LSF IV than LSF V*. %>) Jim Ealy AMA Life-43 RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
