flaps can also used launch little reflex will help penetration wind also felt flaps easier plumb smaller plane Care comment Thanks letter Jim Yes Id like comment points First about F3B feelings probably shared threequarters active Sailplane fliers because relaxing hobby other quarter Sailplaners intensely competitive enjoy challenge world-class events Granted F3B lot work noth ing challenging ever gained consider able effort talk guys compete real airplanes cars boats youll learn about real effort expense will also say its worthwhile successful So yes Thermal events us want relaxing competition F3B thrive top-level competition CANand shouldcoexist Wind contests difficult problem because will always two points view Some fliers will have lightweight floater ships will fly beautifully calm conditions Winds over say 15 mph problem planes pilots would like postponement Other fliers will have stronger planes suitable flying winds up say 30 mph ships will give up some performance light conditions excel medium winds can least cope fairly strong winds cause prepared pilots will want show go However think everyone agrees cur rent AMA criterion cancellation 40 mph realistic Sailplane competitions Probably winds over 30 mph should stop contest because planes Out control become very dangerous interesting note winds Lincoln did exceed 30 mph Some gusts may have reached highest steady speeds recorded mid-toupper twenties Granted very pleasant flying planes designed faster flying least dealing Would fair call off Nats Rich Burnoskis Dhole F3B ship just hitting

flaps can also used launch little reflex will help penetration wind also felt flaps easier plumb smaller plane Care comment Thanks letter Jim Yes Id like comment points First about F3B feelings probably shared threequarters active Sailplane fliers because relaxing hobby other quarter Sailplaners intensely competitive enjoy challenge world-class events Granted F3B lot work noth ing challenging ever gained consider able effort talk guys compete real airplanes cars boats youll learn about real effort expense will also say its worthwhile successful So yes Thermal events us want relaxing competition F3B thrive top-level competition CANand shouldcoexist Wind contests difficult problem because will always two points view Some fliers will have lightweight floater ships will fly beautifully calm conditions Winds over say 15 mph problem planes pilots would like postponement Other fliers will have stronger planes suitable flying winds up say 30 mph ships will give up some performance light conditions excel medium winds can least cope fairly strong winds cause prepared pilots will want show go However think everyone agrees cur rent AMA criterion cancellation 40 mph realistic Sailplane competitions Probably winds over 30 mph should stop contest because planes Out control become very dangerous interesting note winds Lincoln did exceed 30 mph Some gusts may have reached highest steady speeds recorded mid-toupper twenties Granted very pleasant flying planes designed faster flying least dealing Would fair call off Nats Rich Burnoskis Dhole F3B ship just hitting its stride would say no us lighterair planes will either have build something stronger proclaim Wait till next year flaps versus spoiler controversy has ongoing quite personally dont have experience
