Slope models are expendable. Thermal Soaring models are not. :-)

Attrition? Gordy whinnig on the list about loss of planes? Whats this
anyway? If you wanted to define attrition you should have been at this
years Davenport ISR, then you would know what attrition is, AND not a peep
of whinning about lost planes to be heard anywhere. The only whinning I
heard was "why cant we have more events like this!"

The results are in and Gordy had a terrible spate of bad luck. The good
news is that there was only one other plane totaled (Rich O’Connell on
launch) and a couple of planes with minor damage. While the air was
challenging on Sat, today brought overcast skies, cool (55 degree) temps
and much more difficult air. The blood was flowing in nearly every
round. Rich Burnoski flew a great final day and improved his standing
from 7th to second. Skip Miller continued to dominate with his excellent
flights in horrid conditions. While only Skip, Rich and Lenny Keer
managed to make it through the finals without one zero round, Skip was
clearly the master, with only one minor hit and 3 1000 rounds!
Attrition was severe as participants dropped out of the finals for various
reasons. Lots of zero rounds were recorded as the lift carried everyone
waaaay downwind – and with terrible sink on the way back. While there
were a lot OUT landings, there were no damaged planes.
Congratulations to Skip, Rich and Lenny who showed what difficult
condition soaring is all about!
