Next year we will have 3 Airborne pilots representing the Australian team in the Hang gliding Worlds. The National ladder position http://thebombout.com/wp-content/uploads/ladders/NationalLadder.htm of these pilots is impressive: Rohan Holkamp in 1st, Scott Barrett in 2nd and Adam Stevens in 4th. Cameron Tunbridge is in 10th place on the ladder.  So 4 gliders in the top 10 in a field dominated by Moyes gliders. Looking at past results, the 2012 Pre-Worlds at Forbes was won by Rohan Hotkamp on the Rev 13.5, Scott Barrett came in 3rd in the same comp with Adam Stevens in 4th place. The results say something for the excellent performance of the Rev. It could be argued it has been the best performing glider in Australia this year.

The Rev uses a unique camber control system not found on any other glider. The Camber Control System (CCS) is a tensioning system used to control the airfoil from distorting upwards at high speeds. The CCS is activated when the VG approaches the full on setting and maintains a precise airfoil shape. The control of the airfoil results in a reduction in profile drag. The distortion of the upper surface at high speeds has been well documented on other gliders and the drag penalty is obvious.
