Hi Matthew,
Can you confirm that the glider rate of sink has to be subtracted from the
Thermal Strength numbers displayed on SkySght?

The glider Ron is referring to, is the GP14 Velo http://www.gpgliders.com/ ,
which is still under construction as far as I know, and nothing to do with the
Diana 2.
The Diana 2 is type certified, as of last year.
https://www.easa.europa.eu/system/files/dfu/TCDS_A_451_SZD-56_Diana_issue_02.pdfThe
13.5m Diana 2 "Versus" exists and is almost certainly the best 13.5m glider.
Beres Bogumił, the man behind the Diana 2 passed away earlier in the year.What
happened after that is a bit murky, but my understanding is the assets were
sold to SZD (there's multiple SZD's, it's confusing), who is once again
producing the Diana 2, and *allegedly* producing one with a fuselage that has
lower angle of attack on the ground, and an 18m stretch.

Nope,The Versus (13.5M experimental version of Diana2) was flown by Stefano
Giorgio who won the first 13.5M WGC in it. The glider Sebastian was going to
fly, but they ran out of time, is a different, all new glider. Since then the
13.5 M class is supposed to go electric self launch.I think the 15M Diana 2 is
soon out of the WGC due to time from prototype to certification. (There is some
limit)Having seen a few of them I would not own one, talk to Mak.
