Default The Reformed Smoker Challenge

With all the talk on 13.5m electric stuff, new class of "soaring competition" etc... A challenge for anyone currently flying only gliders with some sort of "method of propulsion":

Fly a season in pure glider to get your chops and credibility back up.

You don't have to buy a new glider, either swap with a friend for a year, or just remove key components from your MOP.
It's been 7 or 8 years since selling the ASH26E. The declared/completed 1000k in the ASW27 felt a better accomplishment than the longer one, landing with a cold engine, in the 26.
