Bottom line is soaring gets over 300 paid entries. And before you start 
down the road of the numbers game think about Free Flight. They 
traditionally attract the largest number of entries, so maybe they 
should argue that RC should be cut down more.

If 2-meter is cut or eliminated the thinking is to give that time, or at 
least a day of it, to a different event, RES, which is growing rapidly.

Joe did not mention that his brother is over in the Czech Republic right 
now representing the US on out F3B World Team, so he knows a bit about 
soaring if only by association.
