Ok my response might have appeared obscure..... sorry. But in a field where sound physics is necessary, anyone quoting figures should be very careful about the units used. There is a huge difference between 8 square meters and 8 meters square !

By my basic maths that means the aspect ratio is.......... um.... its gotta be 64 divide by 8........ no, that's not right, Pi times diameter divide by the circumference........ Yeah that's it........ equals 1 ! On Wed, May 11, 2016 at 11:48 AM, Richard Frawley <rjfraw...@gmail.com> wrote: it should be tapered and not square, Pukatrucks have stolen that way already !

Perhaps it's going to be of limited production like the Diana 2, set up for record flying on perfect days!?

I can't imagine why anyone would design a new 15M racing class glider nowadays.
