Frank's reports on Soaring Cafe seem to indicate that from a purely
subjective standpoint while flying with the Duckhawk it is right with the
Ventus 2's and ASW-27/29-15's.

Have you ordered one yet Sean??

I am really impressed! Leading the event after steadily ascending the

ranking list all week. Any news on live "in the air" performance vs.
traditional gliders? Running fast/slow, ridge, climbing, etc?

I understand that this is the Duckhawks very first contest. Winning

(Jerzy aside) the nationals "out of the box" would be incredible.

Not incredible or even a first!

Dick Schreder did it with the HP 7 in 1958 and in 1966 with the HP 14.
Not a Regional but the Nationals!!!
But you guys are all too young to remember that!
