Ref P90 above...


I still fail to see how they are going to make Viking VGS 'larger'.


..You can give them as many gadgets as you like to increase the launch rate but the circuit can only take so many conventional gliders at one time.


They cannot simply go away and hold if the circuit gets a bit busy.


Generally, as soon as an aircraft is on base leg then launches stop until the A/C has landed.


Granted, on exceptional days when soaring conditions permit you can launch the fleet and sit around for an hour...but on the other 360 days, circuit bashing is the norm!
