Hi ladies and gents,



Here is a video made by Sebastian Kawa on ECG 2013 at Ostrów in

Poland.



This video presents final glide of his Discus 2a wing to wing with

Arcus flying at 200km/h. As you can see at this speed performance

of 20m span glider is no better than 15m Discus 2a.

"A why they're buying such expensive gliders...".

The video - its contest day 7 at the EGC Ostrow, 17/7/2013, Sebastian Kawa and Belgian Arcus 2AS both finish at 16:21:11. Sebastian wins the Standard class day (and the comp) and during a relaxing final glide at 200kph in close formation with the Arcus he fills his time by hand filming the other glider. Cool!
