Good point. Stand by for an inventory reduction sale.

Taking bids now on the 1:3 Bayer CNC / Rosenthal ASK18.

[Len]

Ohhhh, that's a beauty!!!!!!! Really? You're going to sell that plane?
I hope it stays in the area.

My prediction for Open Class:

DB places top three next three days and wins Open Class.

I'm finding it rather entertaining that ASG-29's are ruling the world and the Antares are at the back of the pack in the 18m class

Very impressive average speeds too.....

Yeah, I found that a little interesting too. The speeds and lengths of the tasks are pretty amazing....

So it seems we all need to buy a Quintus

[edfmaniac]

I do like the lower aspect ratio of the Quintus but I have a funny feeling that Laurent would have a much more comfortable lead if he were in Concordia.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing. I think the strong conditions at Uvalde favor the "smaller" gliders. The softer European conditions favor the uber ships like the Concordia and EB-29. I imagine the folks at Schempp-Hirth and Lange are pretty excited about their new glider....
