Contest Numbers/Letters
I can remember how enjoyable it was to paint my wing numbers on my first 15
ship. It was kind of a right of passage. Taking them off and repainting again was not so much fun ... for as we all know, the letters have to be right side up when you viewed from the ground as you approach the gate i.e. the top of letter should be along leading edge. At least I didn't have letters on both wings as Gleb did in The Sunship Game. :-)) Since we don't need 2- 3 foot letters for ground viewing, how about allowing 6" letters behind the gear doors for thermal/gaggle identification. (BTW, I have actually been in thermals so crowded, I could not see the wing numbers of the glider above and just outside me ... because his fuse was in the way. I could see his gear doors ... and hinge rivets ...real fine, though.) KK -- Ken Kochanski |
