Default Altimeter Setting

Over the years (30 or so) Caesar Creek Soaring Club has vacillated
with setting the altimeter to zero or MSL. Last year the Board decided
to put the Club ships on an MSL basis (private gliders exempted).
There are however a number of members who are continuing to make it an
issue. I would be interested in your thought and comments.

Teach the kids to fly msl. Maybe that'll shame the old codgers into
doing it right.

Taking off to find that you have mis-set or not set the altimeter is
to find out that your check list discipline needs work.

I get a chuckle at every contest I go to. I can always find at least
one altimeter set to zero. Only some of those pilots are from
Ohio :-).
