Flight tests

[Greg Arnold]

Just got the new SOARING, and I see that there is a flight test of the
304S by the Texas Soaring Association that measures the L/D at 51. Good
job, TSA. I hope that TSA is able to continue with these tests --
perhaps the V2cx, ASG-29, or JS-1 next?

An excellent and very complete flight test...and thanks for all those who
contributed to the test including Dick Johnson and Dean Carswell. Dick had
said if he were ever to buy another glider it would have been the new 304S.
Dean also was always very complementary of the HpH 304's and made great
efforts to write his unbiased reviews in a manner that gave not only
performance data but all around perspectives that competition and non
competition pilots alike could use. It's a pity these two gentlemen are no
longer with us not only for all they contributed to soaring but also for the
wonderful people they were in and out of soaring.
Many thanks go out to those who contributed to and continued with this
flight test and hopefully this will not be the last in the long series of
glider evaluations.
respectfully
Tim Mara
