Binder's latest open class toy:

Quite respectable wing loading for such span.

Out of curiosity, I watched some competition flights of EB 29 and EB 29R pair flying with SeeYou (http://www.soaringspot.com/en_gb/cop...-2016/results). The R-model systematically glided either faster with same glide ratio or with same speed and better glider ratio. Much better. Interesting to see what happens in Australia.

Well, the R model has a completely different wing.

yeah i mean it's cool, but let's see if it can hang with concordia.

My information says this might need to wait as DB and the Concordia will not be at the WGC in Benalla.

Best. #711.

With Michael Sommer flying a 29R I'm expecting it to go very well. Michael also flew from Benalla for some years while living in Melbourne so it will be a bit like going home for him.

I'm looking forward to seeing how all the new gliders go

Does the EB29R have modern features like automatic control hookups?
The EB29 does not. Seems pretty poor for a $400,000 single seat glider.

It should come with a German factory technician who rigs it for you...

You would probably rig and de-rig only couple of times in flying season. It is not a glider you take out of trailer every morning.

yeah that's a shame. more of a hypothetical "let's see". hopefully there's a chance to directly compare them in the future.

Be interesting to see how the much cheaper and smaller JS1C will
stack up against the EB29R.
