As a full size sailplane pilot, i had been wondering when some one would DS in a full size. Looking at the coments here, we would be stuffed by the 'g' very quickly and also would rapidly get well past our max manoevering speed (not much more than 100kts on most sailplanes). But hell, it would be FUN! Well done you guys, really great stuff.

Moving like a jet. & not a drop of fuel burned.

Very nice. Especially with all the phony video posts on here. Whatever you do, don't accidently fly that thing into yourself!!!! I think it'll leave a mark.

If you guys clock it on the downhill side you could probably add 60 mph to it. Also, when you use 2 radar guns they might jam each other with 2 return signals it might be more reliable using 1 radar only.

Agreed! We've always just used the up leg becasue it is safer and more convenient. All we really need is a relative comparison anyway. Mark Drela posted a nice plot of ground speed throughout the circuit on RCGroups that shows the downleg speed to be a little over 10% more than the upleg speed where we currently measure.
I have wondered about interference between the guns before...

@convict9110
burn off all the speed, then drop the flaps to hover down to the top of the ridge like a helicopter as long as the wind is a steady 25-30mph or so...
