Default GP Gliders

Club Class should be 'FAI definition' club class but the USA always
seems to go its own perverted little way for whatever reasons.However
FAI are now trying there best to make this more expensive to
participate in by changing the handicaps to make newer - read more
expensive ships have a competitive edge. The change in handicaps they
recently brought in and the anomaly's were so ridiculous you had to
laugh. The FAI are helping to slowly kill off the sport along with all the

'regulators' out there. World class was a good concept - maybe the
wrong choice of glider - if it had been an ASW19B/LS4/Discus 1 one
design class- probably be the most popular class now.
