Why did Gordy do 50 places better than me with the exact same plane?

I rather enjoy seeing what ships the big dogs and competitors fly at important 
events.  I know some folks could win with bricks and paper plates, but that is 
not what they chose to fly in the event.  ;o)  Brian

  What's the big deal about knowing what plane is being flown? 

  You give most top pilots a F'n Brick and they will get their 9:55 and a 100.. 
So your an average pilot and you think buying the latest greatest plane is 
going to put you in the top ten? I don't think so.. Did you really do that much 
better with your prissy $2,000 Icon than if you had practiced with your $100 
Oly2 ???

Its not on the list because of its weight...but its a F3J list.  Not a TD 
list, it got off the F3J list because of the need for late evening fast tow 
times.. Out of all the planes I own, you'd have to pry my Sharon from my dying

Thanks to the French team and the Norwegian team collecting data you 
can now see the complete list of models and transmitters.

Gordy,

As a designer, I look at the overall list as more of a Manufacturer's
advertising list.  Think about it, each plane costs over $2500 to have
in flying condition, and each is like a Formula 1/Indy racer in it's own
regard.

For information on planes, I would be interested in 3 views (probably
already available), weights, airfoils, etc.  However, are any of the
planes Original Designs?  DP mentioned he was building a moldie a
while back, and I was looking forward to hearing of it's results.

Are the planes so close in performance that differences do not matter?

Years ago, F3B Worlds used to distribute data on ships, new approaches
to old problems etc.  I compiled a DVD back in 2001 of IHLGF data and it
was distributed.  I an going to the German Open and home to take alot of
pictures because how we address design issues for US conditions is alot
different from the design conditions in Europe.

I would love to see more regarding planes, setups, etc.

Chris

Chris,

That's more public info on one page than I've seen in awhile, and you want
more :-)  I think your analogy to Formula 1 is a good one.  I'd bet that 95%
of all glider guiders could not tell a difference between the top planes,
especially given varying conditions when they would be flying the plane.

The old sales trick of hooking up a glider into a thermal and then passing
the transmitter is always effective.  Man, this thing flies great!

I've flown many of the designs listed and the differences between each one
are not pronounced.  A Supra and a Perfect you can tell, but when they are
ballasted to the same wing loading it gets a little murkier.  The Experience
and the Perfect are really close, as is the Aspire (maybe a bit more float).

The Espada is slippery, a little quicker in getting back from downwind but
it like to be flown slightly faster due to the planform and airfoil.

Like I said, the differences are not that pronounced and the decision at the
top of the launch is WAY more important than the plane.  Still the guys who
are there have made their decision on what plane they like based on their
own preferences.  But it's not like that formula stays true forever.
Remember the Icon?  The Sharon?  Where are they in this list?
