Duo Discus, not a Ventus, not an ASG-29, and not the super ship of all
time, the Hanle H-301 Libelle. Those flapped, low tail, drogue chute
equipped, grand venting bubble canopy, pinched-egg cross section
fuselage terrors just can't be beat.

Any word on today's results? There's an initial report on SSA by John
Good indicating excellent conditions. I'm curious to see if the better
conditions and higher speeds sets Sam back in the LS1f.

Seems they "hold" the final scores to announce at the banquet tonight....I
find this ridiculous but I got no say! Talked with Sam earlier
tonight....Karl won the day and, of course is champ. Sam got low on first
leg and lost a few minutes and Ken (KM) aced him out for second overall and
Sam is third (about 5th or more for the day). Good contest. Sorry I could
not stay for the whole thing.
