I am not sure the fine details matter that much. I stand behind my

statement that Kawa's: 1) major contest record (numerous World

Championships, FAI Grand Prix, Major European events), 2) consistency

(second is a poor contest for him, even at this level), 3) raw talent

and 4) ability to be competitive in multiple classes and gliders is

something the world has never seen before in the sport of soaring. In

fact, nobody else is (or has been) remotely close.



I like that, unlike many other top contest pilots, he is not afraid of the PW5.

He has a book in Polish titled (translated) "Second is last"

I do highly recommend his book "Sky full of heat", available in English and German. Although it deals a lot with his childhood and youth in the beginning, it gives an excellent insight into how he became what he is today...
