Default 1-26 Nationals?


Well, not necessarily. Devaluations, whether or not someone got a finish, etc. are all different in the 1-26 rules. So, for example, on the last day where scores are sort of posted, Team 428 shows up with 628 points. However, the written report suggests that they actually get 1000 points per the 1-26 rules. So, they may actually be in 1st place, not 4th. Maybe. Oh, and one of the two team pilots may have actually won the day. And he's not even 18 years old.

Yes, on Day 4, Daniel did win the day in the 1-26 contest while being scored as a landout in the 13.5 meter contest. He didn't just win either, he killed us. I can say with certainty that the rest of us 13.5 meter guys are really glad he didn't find another 500 feet on that final glide. I think he did just turn 18 though, but he has over 1500 hrs of cross country racing on Condor. He does have 2 diamonds in a 1-26. He followed up the "half win" from Day 4 by winning both contests fairly and squarely today. This kid is going to be a force to be reckoned with in the future.
