Further proof of a truly stupid idea...
But maybe it will keep them busy so they don't introduce an 11 meter class!


greetings from the 13.5 meter worlds. FLARM was technically required here but not enforced. The Russians are not equipped. Some guys seem to have stealth some not. Either way I know that I can consistently see a glider before my FLARM picks it up.

I'll try to get some traction on the 11 meter class tomorrow. These long wings on the Silent are starting to get heavy!
