Can you really get 8kts of sink at 200ft? Where is the air going, into the ground? Dunno, but one time I was checking out a new club member in a Blanik. We were on short final, rwy 16 at 3B3, when I said something like "this is perfect, the right position at the right speed". About 5 seconds later I couldn't see the rwy 'cause the tree tops were in the way. The thing that saved us was the extra speed in anticipation of the wind gradient. Tony "6N"
