Well, that picture was taken early in the flight, by Pete in the front seat (!) of Karl's Cub. Here's hoping that Christopher retracted the undercarriage shortly thereafter.
Karl claims that he and Pete shared that thermal with Christopher, and got to 5500 feet.
By the way, Christopher made a perfect landing after 3:45 in the air.
YES ! I saw the different length wings in that way cool photo today and said WTF. I think it is meant for thermalling to the left. Good pick up Anonymous. Christopher Way cool day.
What I meant by 3D: two things that both make that left wing appear shorter because they make its tip point somewhat towards the camera: dihedral, and forward sweep. - Moshe

How come he hasn't retracted his main gear for 3 hours...?

Looks like a 2013 SSA calendar page.
That landing gear retracts? Really?
Is that in the manual? Geez. So that's why I didn't make 4 hours.
Actually, my arms are too short.
Christopher - thanks for using the Czechoslovakian Thermal Marker (CTM)to mark that thermal that saved my flight.
Why is the right wing longer than the left wing? (Hint: 3D)

So how many PMSC slackers flew that day? At least 5 gliders were flown: S1 PM RU 3J and PI.
