    Looks like a lot of effort to me, can any Polish speakers suggest whether they found the results were worth it?

    On (another) unflyable day at Aboyne, we got the Junior polar out. We worked out that at max weight it wouldn't be so far off a Discus. So we reckoned it would be worth filling the thing fus / parcel shelf with water if it wasn't for the Weight of Non-Lifting Surfaces restriction. Much better to stick it in the wings.

    But then - why wouldn't you just go out and buy a Peg or an LS4 for the money?

    Sorry, nothing to do with a Junior - just wanted to know how despondent are my colleagues from the Vectis Gliding Club (Isle of Wight) who are currently at Aboyne?
