I am curious how many more in CLA fly (and especially aerobatics) Hi Peter, Just to have it said -- I am an "Ada" hangglider pilot doing more and more aerobatics. The Wills Wing RamAir 154 is really great, also for cross country flights. I won't want it programmed in C ;-) I agree fully with Peter Amey and Jon S Anthony and also share Robert Dewars comment on what they said. Anyway, neither my flying nor my programming skills are in any way (extremely :-) superior. Sorry, off topic, off group, I should leave to rec.aviation.hang-gliding...
