Go Cherokee go! My first flight at Ely was over 600km, my fourth one was 990km, my shortest that week was ~500km ... and that was in a wing-loading limited glider. Ely is just awesome! Let us know when you find a non-wing-loading-limited glider! :-) Go to any glider port where the conditions are weak, and you'll find a lot of them that aren't limited by wing loading ;-) -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA * Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly * "Transponders in Sailplanes" http://tinyurl.com/y739x4 * "A Guide to Self-launching Sailplane Operation" at www.motorglider.org
