The original IGC committment was for 15 years taking the class to
2009. However at a recent IGC meeting there was discussion regarding
what to do in 2006 and there might be changes for that year. Some in
the committee consider the 15 year committment to be firm. There is no
clear idea as to how they would replace the WC.

Hope all is well with you and your family Bob. Happy Holiday & see ya
next June!

AFAIK since about 1995, and I think there is at least ten years interval
between any changes.

For how long is the PW-5 the official glider of the World Class? Are
there any provisions in the FAI or IGC rules for the eventual
retirement of the design and a switch to a second-generation WC
glider?
