I am contacting you because you are the designated email contact for your club per the ushpa/clubs web site.

I was hoping you could help make my survey more accurate by posting it on your club site and/or emailing the letter/links below to your members and anyone else you think appropriate.

I have already posted on hanggliding.org, paraglidingforum.com and OZ report.com.

With your help I might have a better chance of reaching the pilots that do not regularly visit such sites.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,

Andrew





Dear NON-competition and competition pilots,

Please help me understand what you think about competition and its status by taking this short survey. It takes less than 4 minutes. http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform ... WVUzRHc6MA

This is my own idea and it is not supported or instigated by anyone other than me – a regular pilot without an agenda.

This project started by me wondering if it is just a small vocal minority ruffling feathers on the many sides of this issue and what the overall population thought about this stuff.

For instance, is it just the comp pilots that care about competition or is it the non-competition pilots that also support competition even though they themselves don’t compete? Would more pilots attend competitions if it was “easier”…how could it be made “easier”?

Please share your thoughts.

The results are public so we can all learn from them at http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key= ... zRHc&hl=en

I’ll be posting analysis as results come in. If you include your email in the survey I’ll email you as updates to the analysis are available. If there is a certain analysis report you’d like to see, let me know.

I’ll be posting a notice about this survey on the club sites that are listed on the USHPA web page. As you can imagine that’s a time (and registration) intensive process so if you are a member of any other club websites, please copy/paste this letter with links on your board and shoot me an email with what board it got on so I don’t need to register for that one.

Since it will be impossible for me to follow up on every board for comments, please send any comment and questions you want me to see to me directly at the address below or post on the blog for this project http://compsurvey.blogspot.com/.

Thanks for reading. I’m curious how this will turn out.
