Soaring - that's just nonsense! And it's spreading mis-information. I am a local, and flew it very regularly from 1978 to a couple of years ago.
Never experienced, or heard of, any 'incidents' let alone near-collisions in the LLR in 35 years of using it! If it's good enough for the BBMF Lanc, Spit, and Hurricane in formation it's good enough for any GA pilot.
Use it or lose it!
