The weather turns

https://airtribune.com/springmeeting-2019/blog__day_5
Pilots are already on takeoff. Weather seems perfect today, so we expect to go in the air early in the afternoon for a consistent task.
Because pilots weren't assigned Flymaster trackers through Airtribune, live tracking on Airtribune doesn't work for this competition. Follow the pilots on the Flymaster web site.
The task has started: https://lt.flymaster.net/bs.php?grp=2636
You can see the Replay from yesterday here: https://airtribune.com/play/4032/2d at the two times faster speed (compared to the Flymaster web site). The Airtribune replay uses the IGC files found here: https://airtribune.com/springmeeting-2019/results. The Airtribune Replay user interface is vastly superior to the Flymaster Playback user interface. It does have a problem with screen clutter on cell phones.

Wednesday is a possible recovery day due to all the bad weather.
Pilots are on the takeoff, we had rain during the morning but we plan a late task in the afternoon, when weather should improve enough for a go.
Pilots will have a briefing at 13:00
The first flying day: https://youtu.be/VPP3_Cdnou0
The task has started: https://lt.flymaster.net/bs.php?grp=2636
Task has started for all classes. It's a 40 km task for class 1 and 5, and 15 km for Sport class.

Roll Control – rubber wings

For some time I have noticed pilots commenting on the superior handling and roll control of single surface gliders. It's interesting what pilots will tolerate for higher performance in advanced wings especially if the changes are incremental. Personally, I don't find the roll control in single surface gliders ideal either. On two occasions in the past I have been gust turned into the ridge despite immediate reaction with full pull in and full opposite correction, in a single surface wing (probably flying too slowly, but a wing should be controllable at all flight speeds IMHO). Which begs the question why, even with loose sails and billow shift floating keel mechanisms, do we still have gliders sticking a tip and refusing to turn? I noticed in a review of the Offpiste Skyfloater Discovery the pilot commented on how, despite excellent handling, the wing still needed a firm hand and plenty of correction in rougher air or to turn into lift. The large sail was blamed but I doubt this is the underlying cause or 747s would be uncontrollable.
For what I can ascertain, the inertia and tension of the wing half that is unloaded on weight shift, tightening and flattening, resists the keel shift toward the loaded side that billows up, slowing or eliminating control response in certain situations. Adding anhedral as is done in most high performance wings, is a partial solution that also adds roll instability. One solution I read about in C.C a year or so ago was coupling a tip lifter to the hang strap with various activating mechanisms and cams. This was supposed to be available as an after market add on but I've since heard nothing more of the idea.
Jean Louis Darlet approached the problem differently and without the complexity of linkages, by first moving the virtual hang point higher to allow lateral hang point motion - or hanging from the king post, with his French connection which now has a popular adaptation in modern wings. A lesser known idea of his was to split wing sail down the center above the keel pocket, between the first ribs. The wing halves were rejoined with rubber straps. This allowed one wing half to billow up under load independently of the other half. The other half did catch up later so performance loss due to sail laxity was not problematic.
The wing was thoroughly tested and, apparently, had exceptionally positive roll control with no vices and virtual immunity to lock outs on tow. I'd be interested to hear why the idea was never developed further. Possibly, such modification would provide overly sensitive response at speed, especially in high performance wings and I suspect performance goals superseded handling issues. I wonder with the renewed interest in lower performance single surface skyfloating wings whether pilots would be again be interested in this modification?
