Subject: RE: [Aus-soaring] Queensland
Easter Comps etc
I
have to agree with Ians comments on the higher performance open class, there
will never be a fair competition in a club class contest, with empty gliders
and average LD's around the 40's, competing against high 50's, this showed on
the days where we had to cross blue to get to better Cu. most stopping in the
middle to work a 1 or 2 knott scratchy thermal, whilst the bigger machines
pulled up and blasted on!
At
the end of the day still a good effort by Bruce in his ASW22, the second place
may not be correct yet as there appears to be a mistake in scoring Ivans place
on day 8, which may put him second in the comp overall.
KINGAROY!
Cheers
Nigel

Again Queensland does it again with the perfect
gliding comps with 8 good flying days (only one blue) with 50+ gliders and
gliders from ASK13 and Club Libelles up. Importantly
no unbearable heat and no flys - why would you ever go to a comp down
south! Actually dare I say it that perhaps it is time to consider
limiting numbers to 50 gliders by initially not making Nimbus 4, ASH25
and ASW22 eligible to enter the club class.
On another sad matter Dieter Hiress the maker
of the gliding jewelry was killed in a mid air at the Free State Comps in
South Africa on Easter Monday. John McLachlan (Open South African
Champion) was the other pilot involved and was also killed
regretfully.
