Just in from the IGC!
The long-rumoured 11-meter class has been introduced.
From the IGC:

...Extrapolating from the amazing success of the PW-5 and
subsequent 13.5 meter class, we now introduce the 11-meter class.
Benefits include:


Second manufacturing design is just in.
The Leftus.

Design priority was given to
recycling from used equipment.
left hand thermalling only for mid-air reduction.
simpler owner-pilot training for only half the maneuvers.

Along with the fore-mentioned IGC criteria.

Thanks, Dave.
