Old Folks Poll
Only just seen this thread. I've been gliding twice the 25 years, and would
agree with lots of the comments, glass, gps, etc. I'm not sure about cost of gliders though. I can only talk about the UK, in my early days a decent glider would cost roughly the same as the average house, now they are much cheaper. Perhaps the biggest change here though is the proliferation of Controlled Airspace, reducing where we can fly on this little island.

So, my= question for those people is : "What is the biggest change you have seen i= n the sport over the years you have participated?" For me, the biggest change was the widespread adoption of GPS - which chan= ged everything about flight recording, contests, contest tasking and badge = flying. Second place goes to the newer trailers which are so much better th= an what we struggled with in the old days. Third place might be OLC . . . What do you think? ROY |
