Sprogs?
As I reported earlier a number of us have refused to sign the CIVL Sporting Code Glider Certification Statement backed up by Mike Meier at Wills Wing. Instead we provided prototype letters from Wills Wing which essentially reasoned along that lines that all production gliders are prototypes because they have been at least slightly changed from the model that was tested at the HGMA.
We are all flying certified models of the Wills Wing T2C-144's. We are not flying prototypes as that word is used in normal conversation. Our refusal to sign the Glider Certification Statement has nothing to do with the certification of our gliders but rather with that fact that we are not in a position to make the declarations required in that statement.
The Sprogs spreadsheet that the meet organizers published states that Dustin and Nick are flying prototypes. They are not. They are flying certified T2C 144's. Also there is no 09 in the T2C 144 model designation.
Andreas Olsson is flying a one off T2 148, a glider that he helped develop. It is a prototype in the sense that it is not a production glider. But it is not going to be the precursor of a production glider either. It is a unique glider that he alone flies.
I still haven't learned why the values that Gerolf gave for the Moyes RS gliders are not being used. I don't believe that Curt Warren is flying a prototype.
It is unclear why different (and much lower) certified values are given for Oleg's Aeros Combat L 13 09 with tail, than for Maxim's. This seems to be a simple error.
I don't believe that Manfred is going to fly the prototype from Icaro. Cameron Tunbridge is not flying the Rev from Airborne, but his C4.
It's not clear if the values have been updated for the latest values after pilots made the changes to get into compliance.
I wonder how they came up with the measured accuracy of 0.2?
These are just some of the errors that I see. I haven't corrected many or any where near all of them. You'll find a new spread sheet with a few fixes here.
