I think our US friends have a good point here. They should not have to pay extra to be able to compete in an Experimental glider in Canada, given that FAA issues special flight permits to Canadians for free. I have been getting one every year in order to fly my Russia in the Region 8 contest.

I propose that the organizers and/or SAC either persuade Transport Canada to wave the fees or cover 100% of the fees.
