arizona soaring association
Thank you all for your helpful insight to the ASA.The members of ASA
seem like a great group of people and contrary to one posters statement, am not trying to pick a fight. Racing would be great if I were at that level,though the intention of my post was to understand why there is not a more affordable way to enjoy the sport(fly more often).As an example, a 3000' agl tow came out to $55, can't do that too many times.At "tucson soaring" a 3000' tow is $20 and at "prescott soaring" a 2000' winch is $4 . This was my concern and I know some will say if you can't afford that then get out.That might be why many don't continue after earning the license. One more thing,what will happen to turf when housing subdivisions are next door.Thank you. |

Be careful of one character that refers to himself as "Seven One". He was
once thrown out of a major contest for putting Chapstick into all the other people's total energy tubes and gluing their yaw strings off to one side or the other. Just ask anyone in Arizona.

Gosh, John, you're giving away all the secrets from the ASA Contest Guerilla
Handbook. You'll be telling folks next that we block their pee tubes with chewing gum and stuff old socks in their air vents. Mike "John Shelton" wrote in message ink.net...
