Mike,

The web link gives my interpretation of Dick's preliminary data. He
will speak for himself in Memphis.

Many will not agree with my methods. I'll be more specific soon.
possibly before Memphis, but using my data from two years of flying
deturbulated wings, not Dick's data. I'll give my interpretation of
his data after the convention. I'm not an aerodynamicist, so you will
be excused for not believing me. On the other hand, new things often
don't fit in old boxes, so an open mind may be required for
understanding the true potential of this new technology.

If the numbers are real, that Standard Cirrus is now a 41-1+

is great, and a boon for a lot of people that do not have $40K-60K for
that type of sailplane performance. Looks like some older sailplanes
could be hanging out with a new crowd.

The results are interesting, but way do the testing on a Std. Cirrus?
To be taken seriously put them on a modern ship and test them. I
can't believe Dick did the testing on the Std. Cirrus and did not at
least put them on his Ventus for some additional comparisons.- Hide quoted text -- Show quoted text -
