Ron Gleason's
website
Vince,
When viewing your coverage of the Worlds in Austria, I also found Ron Gleason's website a to be good addition to yours because he had different pictures.
Can you or anyone else provide the link to Ron's website? I didn't save it.

The other other
report
I don't see the Worlds report anymore, but it looks like www.rmhga.org/xccontest/2004Nats.htm will be Jim's Nationals report.

Re: US

Ah, yes, I assume you mean your report on his pimping off Bruce Barmakian on days 3 and 4. I liked your last line in your day 3 report.
It was interesting that, if you remember, Davis made a big stink about Brian Porter pimping off other pilots when he was flying his Utopia (Millenium variant) in Florida some years ago. He went on and on about how it was somehow immoral to pimp. Later he would defend his own pimping by saying it was a good competition tactic and as long as he went out ahead once in a while it balanced out (at least that's how I remember it).
You'll have to watch it, Vince. With the jabs at Davis you make in your posts, you're gonna make him mad at you. Then what? Edited by: Ernie Camacho at: 8/4/04 7:41 pm

Finding
Lift
"I learned some good stuff about finding lift yesterday" Vince said. But that's all he said about it.
Aren't you going to tell us Vince? We won't tell anyone else.

Finding
lift
OK Matt, here goes. About 1/4 mile before you expect to hit the lift, slow down from the 50 mph you were flying to 35 mph or so and add about 4" of flaps. If you don't do this, you can go right through the lift and it feels just like a bump of turbulence.

That sounds like: slow down to 30 mph and back off the VG to one quarter or whatever setting you like for thermaling. Now Vince, what about the "finding lift" part? Edited by: Greg Sugg at: 8/8/04 8:58 pm
