    Yeah Joe, definitely make it a consideration. You'll get to see many different DLGs up close and personal, the company is great, the food is great and it's a fast track way to improve our flying skills. I had to be on top of my thermal finding skills to make up for the lack of launch height against the strong launchers and by the last round I was so mentally drained I really had to depend on Ronald's input on exactly what I had to do. My brain was almost asleep on my last two launches of the day.

    Finally, I got someone to critique on my form and I know what to work on. First up; lose the flab and get more flexibility and agility. For the past year, I have been concentrating so much on thermal finding (which is not a bad thing) that I really did not put much effort into launch training. My current launches has been enough to get me where I wanted it to but in the context of a high level competition I found myself greatly lacking.

    Maybe for next year we can have a bigger contingent from Singapore. Another training I have to do prepare if I were to go up again will be my conversational Mandarin.

        If the Beijing-ers can have an ex shot-putt athlete as a DLG pilot, we can have a discus athlete in our fold.

          The day after the contest, we got a preview of a new glider coming out of the Top Soaring factory. It's a 3m thermal ship called: Top Thermal. The version he showed us ran on 4s and has an astonishing AUW of less than 2kgs. Amazing. I had a few moments with it while it was in the air and it floats effortlessly.

            This guy just has one month RC experience and he consistently launches to 55-60m. Simply amazing.
