Default World Class Nationals (US)

Who got to pick the PW-5 for world class? Were they drunk???

We have a PW-5 in my club and it hardly ever gets flown. When it does
fly, it tends to stay locally even though our club promotes and
encourages cross country soaring. That glider just doesn't have legs
to run with. I like the Discus idea, or maybe an ASW-20 type ship. I
would love to compete in a one design class, it would helps reduce the
"money" aspect of winning a race. If you have an ASW-20 and compete
against an ASG-29 in 15M.....good luck!
