First comp result is encouraging, the top 5-6 guys on that list are very
talented by my personal experience.[as is Chip] The glider is quite different
in it's philosophy, it will take some time to confirm that something that
radical is competitive in all types of weather. Best of luck to them, it is
great to see someone have a go! The Gliding International article goes on with
ideas of "dynamic Soaring" etc which will not be useful for 95% of pilots in
practice. Interesting to see what seems to be a huge cockpit and fuse size
[high drag] and the "conventional" tail [also higher drag than T tail] I expect
if they reckon it is that good there will be one at Uvalde!?

Looks like our American friends may have built a fully competitive 15M
