Hi All:


I saw on *X's report from Seniors that the 20-meter class was approved
by the IGC. Any info on if the small wing class proposal got passed?


Tim EY


13.5 class approved. *No handicapping. *No weight limit. *Ballast
allowed.


This info was passed along to me as "public, but not yet official
(pending publication)".


What's the wingspan of an ASG-29 with no tips ;-)?

Thanks for the info. I figured I'd try r.a.s. before going to my
overseas contacts for any preliminary information.
