I would suggest an article on the progression of avid Condor pilots and how achieving the ability to participate in the higher levels of regular Condor online racing is impacting their real life contest flying.

I think this could be eye opening and perhaps inspirational story to many.. I dont think many understand how seriously some take Condor in terms of training for the real thing, and the impact of that experience with Condor.

Also a realistic depiction of what it actually takes in terms of dedication and time in order to really "get over the technical hump" and become "proficient enough" within Condor to ACTUALLY begin learning sailplane racing at a very high level. This is not game that is learned in a few hours. Many have many hundreds or perhaps even thousands of contest hours in Condor. This is a 2 hour, 2 - 4 nights a week (or more) kind of thing. People take it seriously because it helps, and it is very fun.

Sean,

That is an excellent idea. A paragraph or two 'testimonial' from several different 'real life' competition pilots could be very persuasive. Even better, I wouldn't have to do much of the work! ;-)
