yes........again one 304S up against 50 other 18 meter gliders..... but have no doubt, it will be in the running! tim "John Bojack" wrote in message ... There's an HP304s entered in the worlds. � A better comparison...... Also several other new planes (LS-10, JS-1, Antares). And, of course, the 29's and Ventus' in mass amounts.

I commented only on the referenced contest result. �I have no opinion on the 304S. Andy- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - It appears all the new 18 Meter ships will be at the Lusse. Several manufacturers have only one their. The Antares 18, JS1, DG 808 and the 304s. I do believe DJ is flying the new Ventus 2CXA. So, maybe, 5 single types will be their in the 18 Meter class. So, in a short time, the IGC files will be available and we might be able to compare climbs and glides of all these new ships along with the many V2cx's, LS 10's, ASG 29's and LAK 17's. What is great is the 18 Meter Class has now established itself as a class that most are watching and has the newest ships in. Some of these manufacturer's have extreme confidence in their product to send only one type to a Worlds, lets wish them and their pilots the best. Without the pilots, none of them would get off the bottom of the score sheet anyway. Many will be watching and hopefully, knowing competiton pilots, the pilots will be talking, giving us their opinons, on the performance of these ships. When purchasing a new 18 Meter ship these days, one does want the best information available, to make the best choice, doesn't one? These sure are exciting times with so many eyes watching.
