Didn't one world champion get lost during the 1987 World Comps
at Benalla and subscribe his lack of knowledge as to his where-abouts to
Hypoxia. He apparently spent a considerable time above 12500' in thermal
wave.

On a different note.
Has any Libelle owner experienced ASI error due to the
position of the pitot tube. GBX has a small flattened tube at the top of the
aero tow release. My suspicion is that it is under-reading. This follows
checking against GPS on opposite headings where it seems to indicate a permanent
tail wind.
ASI has been checked OK during form 2 inspections.
I have not checked plumbing at this stage. It is difficult to
connect to the end of the flattened tube.
I am aware that other Libelles only have a connection to the
chamber in front of the bulkhead.
Any comments. (apart from may the wind always be on your
tail).
