That's amazing. I'm new to soaring and flying a 1-26 and I never would have
guessed that a 1-26 could win. From the second comment it sounds like this
is a habit. What does he do that no one else can do following along in a
DG-800 or whatever?

The 2004 OLC champion for glider without an engine is a US pilot,Doug
Levy in a 1-26. Quite an achievement considering the level of
competition in OLC.
Congratulation Doug.

Hi,
He has the right handicap and fly at the right location. he also does it
often posting some 40 flight.

You forgot to say that he is a good pilot too. I always use Doug as an example
of someone who flies his glider to it's full potential/performance. (I use
myself as an example of someone who buys more potential/performance.)
Way to go Doug!
