My information says this might need to wait as DB and the

Concordia will
not be at the WGC in Benalla.

Best. #711.


yeah that's a shame. more of a hypothetical "let's see". hopefully

there's
a chance to directly compare them in the future.


Be interesting to see how the much cheaper and smaller JS1C will
stack up against the EB29R.
The JS1C has flown 2 worlds finishing behind the EB29 both times. The EB29R with both more wing span and wing loading along with the lower span loading should, if it was only down to the glider, finish ahead of the JS1C and the other gliders.

It will however be down to the pilots and I for one will be fascinated to see how this contest of pilots and equipment plays out.

Roll on January 2017!
