I'd like to know how common these observations are in the most popular
birds (Discus 2x, AS-xxx, 304Cx, etc).
I should have been more specific than "popular birds": 15-meter, 35:1 or
better, ballast tanks, with or without flaps, hold the mayo.

Ted,

The ASA is setting up an "annual party" at Turf on the weekend of
21-22 Feb, if you stop by you will be able to get a close look at (and
talk to owners, sit in, etc.) a bunch of gliders. Current signup
includes an LS6, Std Cirrus, Ventus B, ASW-27B, ASW-28, ASW-19B,
Pegasus 101A, 304CZ, Grob-102 (ASA's) and Pik-20, with more to follow
(LS3, LS4, SZD-55, SZD-48, Discus, Discus 2, Ventus 2 are all local
ships that are possible shows).

Stop by, if nothing else it's fun to look at all the glass (and
cockpit set-ups!) and see what difference a nice trailer makes.
