p.s. I recently listened as a 'pundit' was holding forth on the reasons for
the demise of the open class. He was saying that they were just too hard to
rig. A short distance behind him an ASH-25 owner was whistling softly to
himself as he rigged solo using simple aids.


Try a carry-out of an open class glider when you can't get the trailer
to the glider because it's in the middle of a corn field :-)

Quickly wish for short little wings.
