When I saw the record set by the Silent 2 I went to the web site so
that I could compare specs. They seem similar which is encouraging. Was
Dave's flight a ridge run ? I live in Texas so most of my flying will
be theraml lift . Anyway I may be out west soon I am going to go take a
look, seems like a fun little glider.

Part of it was ridge running, but the majority of it was a downwind
dash. The URL for his flight trace and barogram is

What a great flight! I've never flown that far, even in my ASH 26 E.
Dave has flown the SparrowHawk a number of times, so you might want to
call him about his impressions. Dave also flies a Ka-6e and an Elfe.
