Final glide
OK....sorta "tongue in cheek".....for fun.....a couple of YOUR recent contests had winning task speeds BELOW what I could do (stall speed) in 002 at my weight.....yes....being a PITA.....
Yes, ideal is minimum speed (task average speed) at legal finish height....some peeps have lost a first in a worlds due to 2 many circles across more than a week.... I remember a regionals at Dansville where I got stuck for over an hour. Spratt man called my finish from the hanger while drinking beer with the rest of the fleet. Back then, first landout points was based on last finisher.....I think I was maybe 18mph....in a -20?.
