We know a lot more about the atmosphere's behaviour than we did in the 1970's when records on older types were set. I think there's still some unachieved performance left to be wrung out of them. On 10 Jan 2010, Derek Spencer and Igor Blazujevic did 426km out of Stonefield in an engine-off Motorfalke. Has anyone beaten that? :) - mark _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [email protected] To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
