As Christmas is approaching, maybe a word to Santa would be in order. If
you are looking for soaring related books (or any books for that matter)
go to www.abe.com. This is a great site which connects used booksellers
from around the world and allows you to search for books by author,
title, etc.
Granted, very off topic,
But...what a craftsman
Thanks for the LINK..

I believe in our area, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and Illinois, that our
contests are pretty healthy, but we are flying much different contests than
what most are flying. Seeded man-on-man and loong tasks, ie: 12-15
minutes. Contests are getting to the point that people actually watch

I was wondering if the Sullivan S585 carbon rods might help. The Alcyone has a CNC
bell crank, too. Could that be contributing to the

[RCSE] Contest Participation
Daryl is right.
Toady's sailplane contests are too focused on long (sometimes lucky) duration or die and tiny spot dorks.
The Triathlon contest format requires more strategy
Robert, I recommend the .070 carbon rods from CST. They are the best
I've found and any new plane I install them. They are very light, very
positive and expensive at about $7 each. But, IMHO they are worth every
penny!
As far as returning the stab returning to center, you obviously have
Allow me to offer an overlooked reason why I enjoy the TD contests. In the
process, I will give the LSF a big thank you. I'm a new flier in North
Alabama, and the comments about cost and rules, and skill that I've been
reading are true. Yet we have had several spur of the moment contests for

being the 'new guy' at the field. If it were only for contests, I would
have stopped flying before I ever got started.
The DARTS went out of their
I have finally committed to a large order of EPP
and thus can now pass the cost savings on. My EPP ODR racer the "Foamone" is now
priced at $55. You can check it out at my newly revamped web site www.midwestslope.com
Thanks for the bandwidth.

I usually put my sailplanes away for the winter, but
this winter I would like continue doing some flying. I
fly on a large athletic field in Philadelphia and am
looking for suggestions for good windy weather (25
mph) sailplanes with wingspans of 60 or less that
would be suitable for launching with
This response deserves a big AMEN! Great comments Brent. I think you and I

All,
I'm enjoying the discussion about contest participation, it must be that
time of year again. I took a year off of glider competition to get into
pattern flying (yeah I know). I'm also a member of a pattern discussion list
like this soaring list.
This very same discussion occured on the
A two M Duck from Troy Lawicki. e-mail ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ). It will
launch high, go fast or slow and thermal out of sight. It can hold a lot
