What am I (are you) missing? Most (OLC) gliders don't have engines. Most
(OLC) gliders outperform a 1-26. This guy must be doing something special,
or the handicap is too generous. I'm just an impressed neophyte.

But still, quite an accomplishment !!

That's amazing. I'm new to soaring and flying a 1-26 and I never would

along in a DG-800 or whatever?

Hi.
The 2004 OLC champion for glider without an engine is a US pilot,Doug
Levy in a 1-26. Quite an achievement considering the level of
competition in OLC.
Congratulation Doug.
