Jim, Interesting stuff. For the reasons stated previously
that the
flight envelope of comparison favors the Std. Cirrus and not
necessarily the Diana, is there a plan to do a comparison
between a
detubulated Std. Cirrus vs another random 38yr old Std.
Cirrus?

Isn't the Dick Johnson flight comparison using the same glider
with and without deturbulators the same thing? Perhaps better.
Dick's careful testing and conclusions have done more than
anything else to lend credibility, at least for me.

I would like to see more Johnson-style testing performed on
different glider types. Seems like to-date all glider data is
hinhes on this sole Standard Cirrus.
