It looks pretty tight after 6 rounds. If JW can make it into the fly off I like his chances. All scores in the preliminary rounds are thrown out.
BTW, to get to Martin, go north from Zvolen. If you hit Cadca you’ve gone to far. Near Rajec and Zilina.
Coincidentally I hurt my ankle today when I was getting out of

The ironic part was when I got in the store, they were out of pecans.

You're no doubt seeing an optical illusion. Some people call the

decalage. The term was originally (technically) used to describe the

I'm not sure what the original poster (Jay Hunter) meant by "rudder stall".
It was either

2) the rudder itself stalls.

If we were all launching on 12v winches with correspondingly lighter lines,
the light 2m gliders would likely be competitive with the 3m ships,
because the 2m ships would launch higher. Their maneuverability
and lower speeds on landing is another advantage.
