First, Jamie Shelden has a Moyes Litespeed RX 3. Because she is a big girl she
wanted a custom version with the big control frame. She's the only one
apparently. She has a history with Gerolf Heinrichs and he has not been helpful
to here (according to her). She is getting great help from Kraig Coomber, but
still there is too much bar pressure. As far as I'm concerned, gliders are
always a custom deal.

Second, Wolfgang Siess has a little bit of a crumbling up problem with his
outboard carbon leading edge with at the outboard sprog on his Wills Wing T2C.
It appears as though the heat here was a bit too much for this leading edge and
it wrinkled and cracked and he noticed only after he landed on the first day. He
noticed that the leading edge was soft.

He has a new outboard carbon leading edge in now and is getting Swiss Nick's
glider shipped here for parts. This is the first time that this has been
reported on a Wills Wing carbon leading edge.

Third, Chisato Nojiri from Japan was in in the 52 position at goal on the first
day two places ahead of Corinna, to win the day for the women's competition (the
Women's Worlds). Kathleen Rigg was in third, the last person to make goal. She
had turtled earlier in the launch paddock.
