Andy, you're a Western USA pilot with an ASW-28, aren't you?


No, that's the other Andy (me). We usually sign with our contest
numbers but if we don't you can check the email address.

Another factor related to this discussion is how long to hold onto
water ballast when caught in weak conditions. I tend to dump early to
get up and going again while others tend to hold onto ballast at all
costs in case they need it later.
