Re: [Aus-soaring] 18m. record database
Robert, If you feel 18 m. records should be available to Nimbus 2's etc. the I would suggest you put a submission to that effect to Rob Moore for consideration by the sports committee, preferably in time for their March meeting Regards, Harry - Original Message - From: Robert Hart [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia.

The Nimbus 2 is considered open class Robert, 18 metere records are for wingspans of 18 metres- Alice could make it if you have a hacksaw.

Cut about 1.5 meters off each wing, put in a tip joiner as on variable span gliders and make a nice set of 18m tips with winglets. At 650Kg it should be a goer in nedium to good conditions and still light enough with the water dumped to be alright in the weaker stuff. Bug wipers will take care of the airfoils sensitivity to bugs. Could do the same for ASW17 also. Karl Streideck flew one as a 15m glider and won the US Nationals.

[Aus-soaring] 18m. record database
Hi all, The March meeting of the Sports Committee will consider as to whether Australian records should be kept for 18M class gliders. The decision will be influenced by support from glider pilots for such an addition. We have about 12 18M gliders which have been imported over the last few years and more are on the way. Additionally, there are some slightly earlier models well able to set records, as flying on the right day is of far greater importance than having the latest and best glider (an Astir set the current out and return standard class record over 20 years ago). By comparison there has only been one new 15M glider, no new single seater open class and only a couple of 2 seater open class gliders imported in recent years. 18Mis very mucha class of the future. It is uncomfortable to ask favours which could be of use to one personally, but I am asking pilots especially those flying 18M, to e-mail Rob Moore, Chairman of the Sports Committee, to support the establishment of 18M class Australian records. Robs e-mail address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you could e-mail me a copy of your support to, [EMAIL PROTECTED],that would be a help, Good gliding, Harry Medlicott ___ Aus-soaring mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
