well... as most finishes would be at worm burner speeds even for the
cylinder, not bet L/D speed... at least you would start the "zoom" from 100knts and 500ft higher? even if 1/2 mile from the runway instead of 10 ft over it. flying the cylinder at best L/d would be conservative if you were going to barely make it home.. I would think BT "Kilo Charlie" wrote in message news:m6uYd.43315$FM3.18415@fed1read02... Don't argue with 9B re the logic of the math issue....trust me....he's a very bright guy and never leaves his calculator! He is offering the mathematical explanation of why cylinder finishes may not be any safer. Of course it supports my point so I'm thinkin' he's a rad dude! It's been a good discussion guys.....hope that all of you have a super weekend of soaring whatever height you choose to finish! Casey Lenox KC Phoenix
