Kawa leading.....again.

Exactly, less mistakes. We all make many small (and sometime big) mistakes pretty much every flight when racing or flying XC. As small as turning the wrong direction, or making unnecessary turns, or taking slightly less than optimal line. The one who makes the less mistakes fly the farthest/fastest. Do it consistently and you can always win. How does he do it? Six sense maybe? Or he figured something none of us did yet? Ramy Also a very high level of confidence that comes with true mastery. He is not afraid to press out when others are. UH |

Does he have striking eyes like Manfred Ruhmer or Sarah Arnold? Perhaps they can all see things we cannot.

Interesting that he chose the 20m class in which to compete. He must have his choice of classes, together with offers of loan gliders for each. After all his successes with the Diana 2 and his promotion of the GP15 I would have expected him to be in the Diana 3 for this comp and the GP15 for the 15's. He cannot have thought either was going to be a winning glider, or at least not yet. Is his 32 an Mi? If so it will be very heavy for any weak days.. As an Arcus owner I was sad to see him in a 32 because I would prefer an Arcus to win and the odds were always on Kawa for Champion!

GP15 wasn't up to snuff so changed last minute and flew the Polish teams old 29 and won the 15m's in that. Diana 3/KKB18KE is flown by Lukasz Wojcik - another good Polish pilot-but seems to have some 'technical' issues over last few days. I think Kawa has stated he prefers 2 seater flying these days. |

Kawa flew an Arcus in Russia. He gave a talk at our club about that exciting trip. I wonder how he comes to be in a 32 this time.

The top manufacturers attract the top pilots, but the gliders are so close in performance overall - I doubt equipment is the decisive factor in most recent contests. Dr Kawa will be hard to beat in anything remotely competitive... |
