Hi all,
I have a question that might have been asked before but I haven't found it.
How come that there are no minimum cockpit sizes for gliders?
I am following the euros and again the gliders with a small cockpit
that apparently have about half a point better glide are leading. For
Hi all,
It is hard to imagine that any difference in glide angle between an A or
B model (which is tiny if it is there at all) would cancel out
differences in pilot skill and performance. But it is true that the
best pilots will seek every advantage no matter how small so perhaps
that is
Tim,
Delta one goes better than any B I came across. ;-)
Mart,
Depends who you ask. The Discus A has 80mm more wingspan than a Discus B -
yes both are 15m wingspan, but the A fuselage has 80mm less width. Plus I
think that the bottom fairing between the wing lower surface and the fuse is
more
Ditto to what Bruce said :
Absolute performance the a Schempp is a bit better - IF you fit comfortably.
Here in Uvalde Lisa Trotter [who is small] fit fine but cannot reach things in
cockpit - you need to be small but with long arms!
Talked to a Ventus 2bx owner last night who got the 2x version
Good morning all!
Please enjoy!
Truly amazing
For many years, people have been trying to develop machines to fly like a
bird. Over 500 years ago Leonardo thought about and drew sketches of a
human powered machine (ornithopter) he called Il Cigno. It appears this
dream has finally been
