The Duckhawk? Yes. There's been some chat about it on the Waikerie Gliding Club mailing list. Vendor claims it does 50:1 at 71 knots at 960lb (55 knots at 600lb). The Duckhawk VNX variant (same aircraft as the entry level, but with thicker skins and more carbon in the spar) has a 225 kts VNE and is stressed to +11/-9g. Not a typo. http://windward-performance.com/projects/duckhawk/specs/ - mark _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [email protected] To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
