Sadly, whilst it was great to see a new glider on the air, nothing can be taken
from the comp in terms of potential performance. The 20m class had far more to
do with the pilots than the gliders. The Jones brothers would still have won
flying a DG505!

Standard class definitely seems to be better at high speed.

powered self launcher.

A new self-launching Shark 304MS will be delivered
any time soon. Bernard Eckey will have another excellent
glider to market. He may need it when the latest Ventus is released,

Is the wing area wrong in that document or the polar? Because
800kg/15.38sqm (52kg/sqm) does not match the 800kg @ 46kg/sqm on the polar.

Thanks for that Matthew. The 52 is correct. I will advise the factory about the
polar/weight number on the brochure.
Cheers

And surely if it is not a promotion, it would be correct to mention
the complete domination of the 20M class by Arcus gliders except for
this lone ASG 32 and a DG-1000M?

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.

Hi Mandy,
Many thanks for your input re how to link up with the current state of play.
I don't recall the exact details, but a few years ago, I do recall that for
Bruce Taylor, the penny dropped, and he stated that (from hard learned
experience), he was not from that point on, prepared to fly in
