I enjoyed Gordy's post about the money round on Saturday, so I figured
I'd post it from another pilots eyes, my own.
I liked what CSS was doing with winch assignments at this contest, it was
placing the top seeded pilot on winch 1, the second on 2 and so
on... the idea being that the guy in first

Many fond memories.

weekend with.
Wow, what a tale

I thought I'd add a bit of clarification based on my understanding of
substituting a bit of aero drag for a bit more of rolling resistance:

"Speeds over 8-10mph create substantial lift, effectively reducing
rolling resistance from heavy loads. The effective reduced rolling

That thread about putting a wing on the bicycle to somehow reduce the weight
without a drag penalty made something in my noggin buzz Thermodynamics
and the acronym TANSTAAFL came to mind. I can't see how this could work in a
practical sense. Any aerodynamicists care to chime in?

While the Mongo and the Queen Bee are large foam wings, you can achieve the
same (or better) results with a para foil type wing.
It is much safer and collapses in dangerous crosswinds. It can still have a
frame mount and be designed such that it won't interfere with the wheels
when collapsed.
A couple friends and I have done something similar to what you're looking
for. It was a flying wing we called the Mongo:

Hi,
My company makes sport utility bicycles that carry passengers and
cargo. One of our customers recently did some wind tunnel tests
showing that attaching a glider wing to his bike could generate enough
lift at 10mph to overcome the 'drag' created by 150 pounds of cargo.

Is it possible you were using bad batteries? Otherwise, I would guess

It's about time Bozo got a plane that can be flown by a single pilot. He usually has those planes that take three people to fly. Next thing you know he might decide that toy planes are fun.

Ditto what Chip and others have been saying about the Cincinnati contest last weekend. Challenging conditions, a very well run event, and good times with friends old and new. I think that this has been the first time I've ever flown in Cincinnati when it wasn't freezing cold, just cool.
