Default RE: World Championships Experience

Andrew had one of if not the lightest plane. I was impressed with the simplicity of Christophe's setup. I don't know if there were aircraft statistics sheets passed out but wish they did that like in past U.S. NATS. I believe the low idle setup on his 175 YS DZ CDI and 10 pitch prop was the determining factor of his speed. He did fly faster and a bit further out in the finals and unknowns but the F11 sequence requires more room plus there was more wind in the finals than what was experienced during most of the preliminaries.
