......and now day 2 it seems. Just look at the winning margin for
today!
BTW, it's seems interesting that Standard Class is not included and
the large number of 15M (dying class or not?) and open entries. The
lone ETA had a less than stellar performance.

Just checked the website (1400 hours GMT-4) and did not see any results
for the day yet.



Where did you find them?

The Event is a combination of German National Championships in 15m and
Open Classes and the Pre-Worlds of next year for 15m, 18m and Open.
Thus the number of entries and lack of Standard Class.
Standard, Club and World Class WGC2008 will be in Rieti, Italy.

And if you look closely - there are two ETAs. But yes, slightly under-
performing.

The eta has a disadvantage because it has a lower wingloading (45kg/
m²) than for example the new EB28 which reaches a wingloading of 50kg/
m². The Antares kept up surprisingly well yesterday. A very high max
glide ratio is helpfull in weak conditions. In stronger conditions
high speed performance is far more important.
