This seems like this is what is coming down to.
I guess anyone who is going to be competitive this year will have to convert
their plane's or purchase a Discus style plane.
Here's an idea, lets split the contest up in three groups,
Advantage = Discus throw
Expert
Disadvantage = Javelin throw
Expert
Sportsman
What ever happened to the good old days? It seems like just last year you
went to one of our local contest and everyone threw javelin style, and it
was fun ;-).
Please don't take this as whining. I have no problem with change. I am
already trying to redesign my Mini Manti lookalike to side arm.
It will be difficult for javelin style to compete.
I have witnessed Denny Maize, you know that "OFUBG (thats old fat ugly bald
guy)", throw his new sidearm design with very little effort then me doing a
contest throw conventional style (run and throw). I will have to be honest;
his launches were as high if not a little higher.
My 2 cents
Comments?
