...or you could do a quick Google search and find out that the e-mail has
been used by one Mr. John Bentley of Bend, OR. If you're an SSA member,
you can locate his particulars.

If Mr. Bentley (aka God) is truly trying be be nefariously anonymous, he
is doing a bad job.

For the record, I think it would be great if the US team flew a US glider,
regardless of Mr. Bentley's affiliation (or lack thereof) with the
manufacturer of said glider. But there are a million logistical issues
that would make this difficult to pull off before this WGC.

This is God,
I truly did just forgot to put my name in the box. I just want to put this out there to stir up the pot and yes I am a supporter of Windward but do not work there. I just believe that given the chance the Duck Hawk would do very well if not win at the WGC (my opinion). It is my hope that the soaring comunity will ask the same question and maybe just maybe somthing will happen. I think we all agree that having a US made sailplane in the WGC is important but it is not up to us but important that the opinon of the soaring comunity be known one way or another. It is our team. It is hard enough to design, build, and produce a composit sailplane that is maybe a little diffrent but it seems even harder to change the way we think even if the proof is right in our face.

Anything can be accompilshed if you try.
