Default Condor - SGS 1-26

I received a request today from someone working to get an SGS 1-26 as an available glider in Condor.

I have been doing the modelling of a 1-26 on behalf of someone that wants to see this glider being offered as a plane pack from Condor.

I have submitted the model to Chris Wedgewood in the UK (who is on the team from Condor) and he has accepted the model and will do the rendering. He needs someone with 1-26 experience to evaluate the performance of the model that he is creating as far as flying characteristics and performance etc.

I have lots of time in Condor, but very little, and no recent, time in an SGS 1-26. I will give this a try if need be, but would prefer, in the interest of a better final product, that someone with more experience in a 1-26 give it a go. This person would also need to be proficient in Condor.

Another option:
I could do the Condor work, and could consult with an experienced 1-26 pilot via Skype, where I demonstrate the 1-26 performance in Condor and the 1-26 expert sees the result on a shared Skype screen.

I can be reached at

or

by phone at six zero eight, two two two, six eight four three.

Thanks for your consideration,

Scott, Daniel Sazhin tasks Monday Night Soaring (and USNS) on Condor and recently did a 1000k in a 1-26. Suggest you get in touch with him.
