10 seconds? You need to be closer to 5 to be competitive. I lucked out at
our last contest when a turbulent thermal pinged me off at 2 seconds.
Fortunately, I rode the same thermal out for a 9:56, my personal best!

I wish I could tell you I am 'clearing some space in my hanger', but the

Some interesting thoughts and opinions from a lot of people recently!
Let's ditch this idea that a 'no skegs' rule (in itself) would eliminate
dork landings. I flew in the UK for many years befor moving to the US. At
the local competitions, there were no dork landings, but there was no need -

Thanks Dave and all the CASL workers for putting on an excellent contest
once again this year!!
I had a great time and met many of the fellow flyers that I had only talked
to via email. Congrats to Skip Miller - nailing all those downwind landings
on Saturday was an amazing accomplishment. Well d
Perry - I am not a painting expert, no way, but I recently watched a TV
program (Discovery wings?) where they were painting a homebuilt aircraft
wing. They discussed this exact issue. The guy said that if you mask off and
leave it until the paint dries you will get a ridge. However, removing the

At the risk of offending at least one of the list members, just a short note
to tell you that the Starlite (Euro Hera) & Mystery Ship have both been
sold. Sorry for not replying to all those that enquired individually, but I
am hopping between email addresses right now.
Thanks for the bandwidth!
thanks, Dave - good to see so much info so soon! Well done - looks like CASL
did a great job once again.

Euro Hera (Starlite) has the recommended cg at 83mm back from the leading edge,
mine is currently 97mm back. This is still ahead of the neutral position (pulls
out gently in the dive test), but the elevators are exactly lined up with the V

Sad, sad story, so I better give you all a laugh at my expense to maybe

I would look at the NSP Pinnacle Hi-starts. I use the 'L' version for

You are probably about right with the average weights for Euro F3J, maybe a
little on the heavy side. My 'Starlite' (UK version of the 'Hera') currently
tips the scales at 69oz...not sure what the US Hera's typically weigh.
