Default Jim Payne's Flight

Did anyone notice on OLC the flight that Jim Payne flew on Sunday, 29
MAR 09?

http://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0...ml?dsId=738700

1,602.4 km at a "leisurly" 166.6 km/hr!!! And, he did it flying an
ASW-27, not a new 18m ship such as LS10 or ASG29 or Ventus 2c... or
JS1 or HpH-304S.

Well done, Mr. Payne!!!

It's early in the season yet, give the guy a break.
I'm sure Jim will pick up the pace after this rather slow start.
See ya, Dave "YO electric"

Amazing he could achieve such speed in one of those antique gliders!

Perhaps the limiting factor in a high speed wave flight like Jim's is
not glide performance, but Vne, which is nearly the same for the gliders
you mention. Cue the DuckHawk... The IGC file did seem to report IAS or
TAS, so I couldn't tell if that was a factor.

Should've been "did NOT seem to report IAS or TAS"...
