Mark and Larry,
Thanks for the comments re: numbers of flyers and difficulty etc.
You do seem to have a zillion classes in comparison to us, but if
people want to fly them, why not?
In passing, over here, I believe that there's some thought amongst
the outdoor FF fliers that there are far too many classes and
some 'weeding out' might be done - with a view to concentrating
minds on the FAI classes. The problem with this is that the FAI
classes outdoors and F1D/35 cm/A ROG and other ultra-light classes
will probably still be seen as too difficult to attempt by some and
therefore, flyer numbers might drop further. A dificult conundrum!
In GB, we have about 8 or 10 active 35 cm flyers and some see it as
a stepping stone to F1D, although it's actually more difficult IMO.
Nick.
