Jonny on the Litepole (Moyes Litesport)
I was quite involved with helping the scorekeepers figure out the problem with scoring at Dalby (wrong checked box), so I forgot that Jonny Durand was flying the Moyes Litesport that I flew when I was in Australia this season and he came in second. He won the day that no one made goal and came in third and second on two other days.
See, it's the pilot, not the glider.
He said that it did well even when flying fast into headwinds on the last day in particular. He said that he was flying with Curt on the last day, but got stuck and Curt found a better line way to the south.
On the first day he got a late launch and was the only one to make it with the later start.
He says that he felt it lost a little bit at the higher speeds but he was impressed by it. Of course, he was also impressed by it when I was flying it.

So it would appear that the Litesport is a very competitive glider.
