My highlights were as follows;

- The Antarres battery powered motorglider. Very quiet and incredibly
easy to use along with being a great glider. Will their use in a
contest be problematic as the motor doesn't make enough noise to be
recorded?

- The Sinha deturbulator testing. Just the opposite of a tubulator
strip. This is a thin strip of mylar with embedded capillary tubes.
You place it on the upper wing right where laminar flow separates.
Dick Johnson reported something like a 7% increase in L/D on an older
wing profile. It even worked on a mini-van. This could be something
very big.

- The EW Microrecorder. A great little self contained FAI recorder
which is perfect for club use.

- The WWII Glider Pilot's dinner and movie. Great stuff!

- Picking up a Diana2 wing. Wow, is that light.

- All the vintage gliders on the floor.

- 501 (c) 3 Charity designation for a glider club.

- Old friends and new friends.

Much of the above and the I liked the simulator demo and thoughts
behind it by YSA. Must say our Canadian cousins were very much
involved this year.
