Boring cylinder finishes anyone?


Already being used at the WGC since today.

Best wishes for the truck driver

What a completely senseless and preventable accident. Go back and
look at the vicious comments that were made here when BB suggested all
line finishes should be abolished in favor of the 500' and 1 mile
cylinder. Mr. Larson's death should have been enough to quiet the
fans of low and fast. Gliders have no business flying close to the
ground, same for other aircraft. The organizers and the FAI contest
rule committee have a responsibility to protect bystanders and others,
they failed in their duty.
