Has anyone seen, or heard, of such a pg ? Airwave Austria made a very limited number ( three? ) for the Red Bull Dolomittenman comp. I'd be grateful for any info leading up to possibly tracking one down. Charly Booth Sydney charleybooth@gmail.com

Hi 'surfa, and thanks. In the meantime I got in touch with Airwave Austria, and they confirmed that they'd make another one up for me, anytime the need was there. That's great news ...I dreaded the thought of ever having to part with my present "Speedmachine". By the way, perhaps you could fill me in on how we can insert a small pic into this text window ? I did notice that one member had recently managed that ! Cheers Charly

Just heard that Airwave may have made five "Speedmachine" 18's. A further (availabale) SM has turned up in Stubaital Austria. If I can secure it, we'll have two of these speed "hybrid", white ghosts, soaring with the sea eagles at Stanwell Sydney. Being a little larger than a mini speedster, with its 18sqm, it will soar in softer winds, and has a great L/D sink rate, for longer coastal traverses. After much searching, I eventually found the right glider to replace the trusted old Nova Ibex 15.
