Jeff, I have the model for you. The 2M Whisper is probably ideal based
on your parameters. But first, let's talk about the Opus. The Opus is
hot little slope racer, designed for speed and heavy wing loading. It
has an RG-14 airfoil, and really does not like to slermal
(slope/thermal=light
Nathan,
There's more than one Opus out there. The Opus he was referring to
is on the nesailplane website and is not the molded slope rocket we know and
love

Yes, I know the RG14 is considered a racing airfoil. I've used it at heavier
wingloadings and agree. A good choice.
HOWEVER, I've also used the 14 at lighter wingloadings and found it to be
delightful. It handled light slope lift well and caught a few thermals too.
When it wouldn't fly, only
Guys,
Weird, and confusing, how many planes are out there that share the same name
isn't it?
I have to agree with Bill on the RG-14. It thermals just fine. It needs a
bit different style that a floater, true, but it really performs well when
flown properly. My Opus DS V is a heafty 57 ounces but
Terry, e-mail if you can, or call me @ 248-515-2153 ( cell ).
I have an F3B question about "absolutes".

I used rounding in the 2M event. Do not think that Chuck was there.
Chuck may have some pointed needles here, if the event needs to change to
keep up with technology someone needs to write a rules change proposal. It
is obvious to anyone who flew there that safety was a major concern of the
crew
While I may not like it, it makes sense to have the landing pattern the
way it is. Yes it can be subjective, BUT...
I believe that it is necessary for the safety of all.
I believe Martin ( who I thought was fair) gave warnings first, then
sanctions, UNLESS you were in extereme violation.
If we
For old times --- is there a list of the models flown in the Nostalgia
event? Impressive list of contestants. Nice to know who flew what.

Thanks TK for posting the scores!
There is one award this year I am particularly proud of, I was a member of
the first place Dan Pruss team contest. TK, Steve Meyer and I teamed up,
and I think we are the first SOAR team ever to win this award... that is
special because Dan Pruss was a SOAR
In all this chat about landing zones at the
2004 NATS, I thought it appropriate to thank Martin and his crew for completely
relocating the LZ for RES/NOS on Saturday. Definitely a good decision and
an example of the class act that went on all week.

What Greg said...I think that you would be well served to fix up the
Sierra and add a ballast kit to it. I am finding that airfoils do have
that magic range of weight and that Sierra you have may not have been
there. Greg carries the Wizard Compact IIs www.slopeflyer.com. It's
