Re: [RCSE] Supra Choice?
I am ordering the Carbon soon. From what I understand, the Standard might have problems with hard launches in wind, due to strength. I spoke to Barry about the difference between the Carbon and Kevlar, and the carbon seems like the one to get from my standpoint. Give him a call and he will tell you. chip On Mon, 18 Sep 2006 10:32:15 -0400, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote > Well, I plan on getting a new Supra for the 2007 season and was > wondering which version I should get? > > Barry has "standard" a "carbon" and "kevlar" molded versions. > > Any suggestions?

[RCSE] Supra Choice?
Well, I plan on getting a new Supra for the 2007 season and was wondering which version I should get? Barry has "standard" a "carbon" and "kevlar" molded versions. Any suggestions? I'm leaning toward the carbon version. Thanks Dennis Hoyle WMSS www.rcsoaring.org
Re: [RCSE] What if LSF had been born on the East coast..
The .. IL, IN, OH, MO area is very fortunate to have the OVSS series still going strong. LOFT's monthly contest yesterday had nine or ten guys, hat's off to them for flying in the windy conditions. This area is also blessed with the MOM format at the Nats. Watch out for my new OLY lll woody kit.

The contests were definitely more attainable then. My first CASA Open contest at the Polo Field had over 100 pilots. That was only 10 years ago. I got many of my contest points at the monthly CASA contest at Manassas Battlefield. Now finding even 10 pilots for a monthly contest anywhere in VA is nearly impossible. Winning a monthly club contest was a lot easier than the ESL or a NATS.

I don't think it would have been all that different - we have certainly not found the established tasks all that daunting! Weak lift? - I logged 1 hour+ thermal flights on each of 12 consecutive summer weekend days back when, just for the fun of it (most with only one launch). I've also beat an hour on an overcast, chilly, and drizzly March day. For many years we (CASA) ran an XC event over a 32 mi course, yes it had tree canyons and tunnels, they go with the territory, they can be overcome (a good spotter/navigator helps). The course also had a nearly straight, mostly clear (only one tree canyon), 7.5 mile stretch over which several of us got our 10K G&R. The Appalachian chain is hardly devoid of slope opportunities, I personally know of 4 sites where the 8 hr has been done multiple times. Mostly, it's having the will and commitment to watch the forecasts and GO when the wx is favorable for whatever. BTW, you have a significant error in your LSF history account for which I will post a correction shortly. Good Lift!
