Congratulations to everyone at Windward Performance! It looks like a very
interesting new sailplane. It will be very interesting to see how it is
used to set new records and win contests.

The Duck Hawk will be experimental. They got the airworthiness on the
first one as experimental air racing category.

Seems like a dearth of pictures of the duckhawk. Just three real
pictures at the web site. Any more?

the prototype was on display at the SSA convention if you find any photo albums from there. It is a cool looking glider.

Outstanding. Hope some cross-country wave big dogs get their hands on one of these.

Would be nice for a US pilot to fly a US made sailplane in the Worlds.

That would be another USA constructed glider in addition to Dick Butler's
Concordia.

BTW the Soaring Cafe photo a day and other coverage of Concordia
construction has been great, thanks to everybody involved.
