Hard Deck
Time to change the subject line?
I have been thinking about the hard deck idea. Possibly fine in flat land soaring but I am not sure it adds much when ridge flying. I perceive another problem: Turbos are even more dangerous near the ground than pure gliders. I may be happy in my 27 at 500ft but in a turbo? Setting a 1000ft deck because that is safer for turbos will take away the advantage that real gliders have in this zone. Many pure pilots would say this advantage goes some of the way to make up for the additional opportunities turbo pilots have in competition. Setting a turbo deck for everyone will force everyone to go to the dark side! Jim |
