Frank's reports on Soaring Cafe seem to indicate that from a purely
subjective standpoint while flying with the Duckhawk it is right with the
Ventus 2's and ASW-27/29-15's.

Have you ordered one yet Sean??

I am really impressed! Leading the event after steadily ascending the

ranking list all week. Any news on live "in the air" performance vs.
traditional gliders? Running fast/slow, ridge, climbing, etc?

I understand that this is the Duckhawks very first contest. Winning

(Jerzy aside) the nationals "out of the box" would be incredible.

Not incredible or even a first!

Dick Schreder did it with the HP 7 in 1958 and in 1966 with the HP 14.
Not a Regional but the Nationals!!!
But you guys are all too young to remember that!

Some of us are too young to remember it first hand, but we have read
about it. And have, in a way, lived it.
