Gentleman,
Go with the winner... a Organic 2M. Craig Greening won 2007 NATS flying the
Organic 2M.

Hi guys: I am trying to finish a EPP Banshee sloper
(TuffPlanes)before this weekend. Any advantage to
using Ultracote for covering versus the usual Zagi
type finishing tape?
Cheers

Looks better.
Lasts longer.
Perhaps very slightly more
I agree with you Jack, but I think the distance to the turnaround
should be even shorter, maybe 300ft

Wow Jack ,
You are really on to it with this shortening lines thing ! I sat around for
quite a few minutes before I thought of something even dumber ...but I
managed! :-)
I'm thinking with us getting older and the cost of fuel to lug winches
around, and if its really about pilot skill
Gordy,
There you go again. Why do you have to be critical of others ideas? I noticed
you did not manage to add one good point to the conversation just a bunch of
normal BS. If you go back and read Jack's post he did not mention anything
about 300' Lines but actually mentioned 600' lines.
Already the silly season of winter has swung into high gear.
Suggesting a line strength and turnaround distance as required info for AMA
contest sanctions so we can choose whether to go or not go to specific contests.
Also smell a possible black helicoptor conspericy with the trend towards
I have to add my 2 cents worth here
Next time Gordy shows up to a contest make sure he flies a 2x4 At
least he will not have to worry about line length, hand-launch, line
strength or pop-offs...
I'll go back to work now

Once again, the winch requirement excludes the development of new 2M
designs and defaults the designs to the main requirement that they only
be able to haul the lines up. This requirement only favors those planes
that are commercially built or those that have so much wing area and
airfoil
Not really. Mike Lachowski was handing us at beating for a while at the Nats
last year with his Aegea, a pretty new design. The Organic has nowhere near
the wing area of a Duck, and still launches fine. Flying 2M at the Nats, or
anywhere, is far more about decision making than ultimate launch
I can't believe that the response of Gordy's is a Joke or What?
Hey Gordy, you propose that we get rid of Winch altogether. WOW, what a
novel Idea! You design a plane that you can grab by a wingtip and
throw with all your might. Gee...maybe you can do some running to get
more speed up
Can you discuss launch a Supra?

I think what Gordy is trying to point out in his own way (tongue
firmly established in cheek) is that regulating line length or
strength or whatever takes away from the individuality of different
contests...some groups have the ability to use a very long
distance to the turnaround
Earlier someone complained about his wood from N, I didn't experience the
same
problem. But I do miss Lone Star
I just received a $50+ order and I was satisfied with the wood. I
ordered some contest grade with std grade and all the contest was 4-6 #'s
and the std stuff was pretty good with a
Got news for ya-- Joe would still win.

Gordy you are not that dumb Someone already beat you too it
Someone at the IHLGF ( Don;t remember who.. Anybody?) had a 3m discus launch
glider... Thermaled for hours on cow farts
So 20 min would be no problem :-)
Craig... 2 funerals in two days :-(

Just a reminder for the first weekend of the year, renew your AMA.
Happy New Years fellow Pilots,
