Not really. Mike Lachowski was handing us at beating for a while at the Nats
last year with his Aegea, a pretty new design. The Organic has nowhere near
the wing area of a Duck, and still launches fine. Flying 2M at the Nats, or
anywhere, is far more about decision making than ultimate launch height. Not
that it doesn't help, but time and again at the Nats you'll see the high guy
get beat by a bad turn or bad decision off launch.

Once again, the winch requirement excludes the development of new 2M
designs and defaults the designs to the main requirement that they only
be able to haul the lines up. This requirement only favors those planes
that are commercially built or those that have so much wing area and
airfoil thickness that we get back into the old design arguments of
years past.
One of these days a plane will be able to take into account other design
factors besides this limited one.

Gentleman,
Go with the winner....... a Organic 2M. Craig Greening won 2007 NATS
