I agree. If you want parity we need more people who fly more often. Clinics and classes are great.
I learn a lot by going to contests weather club or national and watch how the winners do it. The majority of soaring contests do work the way they are suppose to. The best pilots wins. We're beating a dead horse trying to reinvent contests. We need to look at methods of encouraging RC soaring in general.
