Ah! So there are twelve winches not launching models while the carts bring the lines back. how many launches could be done in that time? My guess is that if your doing 8 launches in 90 seconds you could probably launch at least another 8 people or more in the time it takes to drive the

I couldn't agree with Dieter more. Drag is a drag. Always has beenalways will be. Perhaps if one flys foam only, drag is something that needs to be tolerated. Drag fun? Only if your a queen or at the local strip. Cliff Lindgren - Original Message - From: Dieter @ ShredAir [EMAIL

Darryl makes probably the best points. No need to add too much to that. These two notes really sum up the whole situation. The US (and AMA) are starting to slip in the FAI world, which is really the driving force behind the entire soaring scene. Without them we would still be flying built up
