Subject: [RCSE] Benchmark Sailplanes

When sitting around discussing a new or different sailplane design, often one 
will hear phrases like,  "It launches like a ______."  Or, "It ranges out like 
a _____."
Or, "It hangs like a _____."  Or even, "It lands like a _____."

Once a sailplane is mentioned in one of those scenarios, that sailplane becomes 
a "benchmark."

Here is a possible list of "benchmark" sailplanes through the years:

Sailaire
Aquila
Sagitta
Falcon
Thermal Eagle
Icon
Supra
Super V
