All it means is that if you like to use the flap lever like an on/off
switch on approach to a spot landing, you will almost certainly let the
big flaps slow you down too much, and you will land short of the
spot. But if you are careful to establish the correct glide angle
with perhaps 1/3 flap,

I would not agree with that until one fundamental element was changed.
The Landing Zone. While in/out zones make for quick and easy scoring, they
add a significant luck factor to the overall outcome of the event. I know,
I have won Visalia, and the Nats. And have come away with the thought,
I resemble that remark... :^) Justin, the Nats are the Nats. If you can
win there you can win anywhere. Josh Glaab beat me last year but I got the
big prize. I don't think Josh has flown at Visalia or any of the Western
states triad series...

Go to the Nats and have fun.

Well John, as far as my favorite format goes...
I like the Nats program for TD. MOM, up to 10 pilots per flight
group. Measured landings (ie. not zoned landings), and as many lfights as
possible. 3 days if held over a holiday weekend should work well. And the
CD should to call the target
I agree. The western states triad was and still is a great idea. Visalia
is a great venue for the anchor event, but there has to be an organizer

That is known in the soaring community as wind gradient. This can also
cause a nice looking approach at what would appear to be the perfect
airspeed, to end either short of target due to the airspeed suddenly
dropping off, or worse, a stall close to the ground. Most of us notice
this
