I find it amazing

Firstly Hardly anyone in the gliding world flies into IMC, Then its only into isolated bit of cumulus and now its Airline pilots? Next it will be only astronauts ? If so why do you all defend the practice as if the whole future of gliding depends on it.
You have had privalages and excemptions that the rest of us do not enjoy.
The Guy who posted above about his RV6 kitted out with all the bells and whistles and a soon to be had IMCR is not allowed to do what you do.
Another poster talked of the gun laws and a tragic event forcing massive changes on the Gun clubs. I hope it doesnt take a tragic event to do so with gliding.
