Subject: Re: [RCSE] RE: Did you
hear? No skegs at Visalia this year!
CD Tom Kallevang has had the no skeg rule at every
Fred Fredrickson memorial contest that has ever been (OVSS stop in Chicago), I
think that is at least 5 years now. We use a FAI tape.
No bruised shins, no dented leading edges, guys control their landings and get
the points. The same guys that score high with skegs and 1" tapes
score high without skegs on a FAI tape.
It's simple, and it works.
TK is always thinking far ahead, and you guys are going to be surprised at the
format next year. It's not my idea, and not for me to talk about yet, but
I like it a lot.

Of course if we were involved in
international contests, it would be crazy to use skegs, but we aren't except
for twice a year :-)
I think
if we decided against skegs in the USA, there would be a lot of broken leading
edges and bruised shins....just like in the rest of the world :-)
