An excellent article by Pete Harvey regarding flying the
Antares 23 at Uvalde WGC includes the following: "One of the most surprising factors was the Lange total energy system. In Texas, the thermals were fast bubbles of strong lift - fast, but very small. With our high cruise speeds, it was absolutely essential to pull immediately and positively into the thermal and for this, the total energy was essential. I have to say that the Antares has the best TE I have ever flown in, with negligible ‘stick thermal’ even when converting from 220kph to 100kph in a zoom climb. I don’t want to go back to normal systems ever again!" http://www.lange- flugzeugbau.com/htm/english/news/news_2012_11_16.html What kind of TE system does this refer to? John Galloway |
