Adam,
It would be very interesting to get Graham Parker's views on this, as he now
has a bit of time on the '29 in 15m configeration, and of course bulk hours on
the '27 that he sold some time ago.
Does anybody know if Graham is on the Aus-soaring list?
Gary

G'day Pete,
If the V2ax wasn't around, then I'd definately go for the ASW27. As we've
seen, it's a proven performer in the 15m class. The ASG29 (as far as I'm aware)
was optimised for 18m, and it seems that the 15m version was little more than
an after thought (I mean that in the way of a money making exercise!)...

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?

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!

Sorry, Ross, my posting was based on information received during
a telephone conversation with a Schleicher employee. Thanks for
the link to the official competition website.

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

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.
