Latest Pipistrel Newsletters and KIT MANUAL

[NewsGroups]

Just a quick email, i have been forgetting to keep the soaring list
updated on our activities recently.

We have sent two new newsletters regarding the Pipistrel range of
aircraft recently.

Newsletter 24 is the flight for sight, an annual event flying around QLD
which this year raised over $100,000 for the Royal Blind Foundation.
Three Pipistrel aircraft took part and you can read about it at
http://www.mcp.com.au/sinus/newsletters/newsletter-24/newsletter-24.html

Newsletter 25 is a short newsletter with some nice pictures on the
Taurus aircraft, the first customer deliveries are on target for March
and its an exciting new plane which is either self launch or towable, it
has created a lot of interest in Australia. There is also some
information on the Sinus TUNDRA.... why would you do it - i keep asking
?? and some new wing testing taking the Sinus wing to over 10 g's !!

And finally we have just uploaded the build manual for the Sinus and
Virus kits..... at 11.5 mb its a big download but if your thinking of
either a 200 hour or 400 hour kit you can at least see what's ahead of
you in detail.

Interesting. The Taurus looks like a very innovative product.
I usually double the aspect ratio and find that the max L:D is below that.
In the case of the Taurus the aspect ratio is 18 but the max L:D is 41. Is
there something else in the design that accounts for this?
Thanks.
