I've spoken with a number of pilots who mentioned how well Nene was going in Brazil on his Wills Wing T2C 144. His glider is still in Brazil and he is borrowing a Wills Wing T2C 144 for the competition here.

They said that last year Nene was not gliding well against another top Brazilian pilot who as flying a Wills Wing T2 154. Now he is doing much better and another top non Wills Wing pilot thinks that he is gliding as well as or even better than him (actually he said even more than this).

Well, that's why we have contests to see how well we do, and all the combatants are here.

That's the good news, the bad news is that Nene turns down his sprogs substantially.  He turns down the outboard sprogs four turns and the inboard sprogs three turns compared to how they come from Wills Wing. But, then in Brazil, they is far from the only one that does this, so he is just trying to compete.
