Would love to but having a three-year old daughter and a wife that travels about 50% precludes more than about 4-5 contest trips a year.

Don,

I think it is unhealthy for you to promote some sort of exclusionary relationship between Indoor and that other type of flying you do.

You should consider the "indoorist" title an indication of additional achievement, like a boy scout merit badge or a motorcycle gang tattoo.

BTW - I think it's been a lot more than just the last 6 USICs you've only been to 2 of. But that just means you are due. Skip an Outdoor contest and come join the fun :)
