Guys, We keep talking about reducing launch, devaluing landings and such but none of these things are going to level the playing field. What will level the playing the field is things like has been going on out on the west coast with the DLG Clinics and more recently DP's offer to help pilots with plane set-ups and flying techniques for F3B. Face it no matter what you do from landings, to launch limits, to one design contests, the guys that practice, practice, practice are still going to win. Just my two cents worth.
