Grand Prix Results 1st - Diana 2 2nd - Ventus 2ax 3rd - ASW27 4th - Ventus 2ax 5th - ASG29 The other interesting observation in the 15m class results and NZ Grand Prix is performance of the ASW27 - Is it really a better performer than the ASG29 in 15m configuration?

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] World Comps As Bernard and many others have said, heartiest of congratulations on all the Aussie Teams this season: Jnr, Rieti and GER! You seriously have done us all proud, and has only spured me on to get through my command training coming up very soon (10th sept) and get back into some very serious competitive soaring again! I WANT THE PODIUM BAD!!! Sorry Bernard, but couldn't help myself on the below... STD CLASS RESULTS 1st - Discus 2a 2nd - Discus 2ax 3rd - Discus 2 4th - Discus 2a 5th - Discus 2a 6th - Discus 2a 7th - LS8 8th - LS8 9th - LS8 10th - LS8 11th - LS8 15M CLASS RESULTS 1st - Ventus 2a 2nd - Diana 2 3rd - Ventus 2a 4th - ASG29 (15m) - after wanting to see AUS Win, I REALLY wanted to see Leigh Wells clean up! Even though he was flying a schleicher [he has converted from a V2ax for this worlds :( ] CLUB CLASS RESULTS 1st - damn hornet spoilt my fun! 2nd - Cirrus 3rd - Cirrus 4th - Cirrus 18M Class and OPEN Class - as Bernard has already pointed out Although, I do agree that the ASW22 is in a class of its own, especially @ 850kg! However, I think that 18m class all comes down to preference and your flying style. Both V2cxaJThfnsfhs and the ASG29 are awesome jigga's!

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] World Comps Bernard, I am sorry to correct you but, I have just checked the final results on the competition website http://www.wgc2008.de/TASKS-RESULTS.369.0.html and in fact David Janssen finished in 9th place, ahead of his team mate, Graham Parker, who did win 2 days (outstanding Graham), and finished in 17th place. And despite achieving a 2nd, 4th, and 3rd place during the competition, Butch finished 32nd in a field of 50. Congratulations to the entire Aussie team at Luesse! ROSS ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Future Aviation Sent: Monday, 18 August 2008 5:43 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Aus-soaring] World Comps Hi all I just learned that Graham Parker and David Jansen have returned their two ASG 29 to Schleicher for container loading later this week. John Buchanan has also returned the borrowed ASG 29 factory demonstrator and is now on his way back to Australia. Congratulation to the entire Aussie Team and crew for a splendid effort at Luesse. I'm especially happy for my mate Michael Sommer who has successfully defended this title in open class after landing 1 km short of the finish line on day one. In open class the first 4 places went to ASW 22 pilots. In 18m class 1st and 3rd place went to pilots flying ASG 29 and the story would have been similar in 15 m class if the pilots had not made a major tactical error on the last day. Graham Parker managed to win two days and managed to come 11th after outlanding one day. I understand David Jansen is close behind. John Buchanan managed to come 4th on two days but also had an exceptionally bad where he scored even less than 100 points. All in all a very good result for our pilots. I can't wait to hear the stories first hand. Bernard Eckey FUTURE AVIATION PTY.
