Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] NSW State Comps I think Luke was responding to Bernard's second post which is congratulatory of the aircraft, not the pilots. From what I read, Luke was making the point that the 3 pilots in question would have placed regardless of their choice of modern 18m glider.

This group might need a moderator to keep competing sailplane salesmen under control. Bernard's post congratulated the 3 pilots involved, so what is Luke's line 1 all about? Why is it so hard to accept that the ASG29 just might be a pretty good thing? ----- Original Message ----- From: Luke Dodd <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; Discussion of issues relating to <mailto:[email protected]> Soaring in Australia.

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] NSW State Comps Hi Simon I can see that you are trying to spice up this newsgroup. Good try - good on you!!! In all seriousness, Simon, having three ASG 29 in the comp and having all three pilots on the podium is by no means an isolated case. It has happened at various Nationals in Europe and America and is one of many reasons why the ASG 29 is widely regarded as the top ship in 18m class these days. Especially in countries like Australia its spectacular performance in high speed cruise makes the glider attractive. Not even the very best of today's open class ships can stay with it and it doesn't seem to matter whether the aircraft has developed spar bumps or not. But don't take my word for it and talk to Butch. He has just placed his second order for an ASG 29(E) - number sixteen (16) in my sales territory. On another matter, are you coming to the Waikerie coaching week in January? Your confirmation would be appreciated! Kind regards Bernard Eckey FUTURE AVIATION PTY.

Congratulations to Graham, Hank and Mac. Adam, the fastest speed of the comp was done by Mac flying an ASG 29. Bernard Eckey FUTURE AVIATION PTY.

Sounds like it's either the 'biggest ever...' aus soaring day, or the VENTUS 2CX is just a WICKED glider!! Wonder how many have pulled out of the comp to try for the 1000 or record flights?
