No lets not! As I have said before, I'm not into bashing any glider, they are
all interesting and some have better things than others.
Good on you with the M200. Well done, I hope it didn't display any european
tendencies.
Please write something about what is happening up there. I sometimes wish I was
there as it sounds really exciting.
Cheers

Please lets get back to "Blanik bashing". At least it more closely related
to soaring ( i believe part of the title of this digest)
By the way ian , flew the M200 (GTG) a few weeks ago, very sweet. Will write
something for VT soon
cheers
