That rear instrument panel leaves a lot to be desired

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] World comps in Finland Perhaps you should all wait for the new HpH TwinShark from HpH. First flight in the next 12 months. Available as pure glider/ Jet Sustainer and BinderSolo powered self launcher. http://hphuk.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/TwinShark_20m_p4.pdf A new self-launching Shark 304MS will be delivered to Australia in October Serial #40. The Shark is a boutique glider but it has a strong following in the US and particularly the UK. I'm the HpH Agent in Australia.

The 20m class had far more to do with the pilots than the gliders. The Jones brothers would still have won flying a DG505! I got to see it close up for a short period on the last day. Initial impressions were not what I had expected (but neither was the Arcus). In the only thermal we had together, the LS8 at max weight out out climber it and then was gaining in the cruise at 90 knots. I had expected better from both, but again, this was 1 climb and a short period gliding together Matt On 10 Jul 2014, at 9:48, DMcD <[email protected]> wrote: >>> unlike the grotesque Arcus > > Well it's difficult to see in the pic, but I guess that the ASG-32 is > entirely devoid of those terrible speed robbing bumps. > > Still, they don't seem to rob that much speed. > > D > _______________________________________________ > Aus-soaring mailing list > [email protected] > To check or change subscription details, visit: > http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [email protected] To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [email protected] To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
