contest number question by
Gary Emerson
I haven't even looked, but I'm guessing there is still a requirement in
the contest "rules" to have contest numbers under the wing, etc.
I'm thinking of removing my under wing contest number and not replacing
it - is anyone aware of any contest where not having a contest number
under the wing...

18m polar curve by
Alan Irving
Can anyone supply a polar curve for a current 18m sailplane?
Ideally the Ventus 2cxT, although Schempp-Hirth polars

That said, if anyone has a curve for a...

Jonathan St. Cloud

enough that no downward force...
