RE: Re: Contest report - 1-28-07 - Colorado Springs
Kurt
I have pics I will post in the files section. I'm guessing the span was
around 24-26". V-dihedral, and not much of it. Also it was about 15-20%
longer than most low ceiling gliders.
The transitions were spotty, but it is clearly a glider meant for a 50'
ceiling, not our 37'. If Chris can get it to transition at Kent (I think he
can) it is going to be a serious contest threat. Sink rate is about .8-.9
feet/sec at our altitude. It will be at least 10% better at Kent!

Hi Don,
Thanks for the report. Wow, you have a lot of glider flyers out
there. I wished I was there. It would be very interesting to see and
or hear more about Chris's DLG. Maybe you, Chris or some else that
saw it fly could comment on the model, especially its size and
weight, and flight pattern.
Thanks,
Kurt
