Another congratulations here to Chip Garner for winning the Nationals in an American made glider.

Tonight I had dinner with Ross Briegleb. Ross was the the first to win a Nationals in an American made ship, a Laister Nugget. It was 37 years ago at the U.S. Standard Class Soaring Championships, Minden.

win.

Nice to see Chip and Windward performance debut so well with the Duckhawk. Great to see gliders being built in the USA.

Now what would be interesting would be to see the Duckhawk mix it up with the big-wings (and many 18m ships as well) on some strong days at the Minden open class contest....

Well hopefully it will peak your interest to know that Chip will be
flying the DuckHawk at the 2012 Open Class Nationals in Minden. Should
be a lot of fun!


Oh yes it does. Its a small field but interesting mix of gliders and some great pilots.
