Hi Larry,
From what I have heard and what I have seen a 1 sec/ft sink rate with a
2 gram glider is doing very well at this point . Our newbies are really
dealing with breakage issues this year...so one flight may be pretty
good and the very next one a complete disaster. According to Kurts
calculations it may be possible to get a 1.8 sec/ft. But I havent seen
or heard of anything even remotely that close just yet. How is your team
doing?
