Airborne Fly-in Melbourne Cup Weekend

With all indicators that the Aussie season is firing up on time this year, the annual Airborne Fly-in at Bright and Porpunlah airstrip comes closer with a heap of pilots looking forward to head up to Bright for the long weekend of November 3-6. Airborne will be showcasing its latest Microlights and Hang Gliders.

As I'm considering upgrading to a topless glider (as in king-postless for those who don't know) at the end of summer, I'll do my bit and check out Airborne's C4's and see the manufacturer's crew recommendations for these gliders and get some highlightes on the performance and how it compares to other gliders, and in particular I'd be interested in knowing if it outperformes the Moyes Lightspeed RS or does it just performe the same? Does it land at a lower speed? Handling and thermaling?
