It works best when the wind is S to SW although you can fly it some if its SE, just not as good. Best time to go up there is when there is a cold front approaching, the rotation is ususally SSW till the front passes. Not sure about the Down under slope. Where is that located? Regards AJ RCSE-List

I haven't had first hand experience with carbon pushrods but I would guess that you could also run the risk of stripping a servo with a stiffer linkage if you failed to retract the flaps on landing again. It's cheaper to replace or fix the pushrod instead of a wing servo. Mike On Apr 3,

I think that the concerning issue is your response time on the flaps. Almost everyone who owns a contest sailplane has been here and failed to retract the flaps in time. I use carbon push rods as do most of the contest pilots these days. I don't think there is an obviously less damaging choice
