Best Club class glider
It is.
Although the Mini Nimbus is not on the approved IGC list.
Go figure.

Thinking about purchasing a club class glider for next year (can't afford
a
JS1 or ASG29). I know Std Cirri seem to be popular, but notice G Dale has
bought a DG100 or 101 and won the UK Nationals in it -just wondered which
would be the best for club class competition and what the pro's and con's
would be of the following:-
Std Cirrus, 75 or 81 ?
ASW19/19B
ASW15B
LSIF
DG100/101
Std Jantar 2/3
Glasflugel Std Libelle
Glasflugel Hornet
Pegase
I'll have about £15k max to spend.
Paul,
The best advice would be to buy a ship to match the soaring conditions
you expect to compete in. The DG-100 climbs like stink, but doesn't
run all that well.....................probably a good selection for
weak conditions, but a looser in strong conditions. Same could be said
for the Libelle and G-102. A Pegasus, Hornet or Jantar would be my
choice for strong western conditions here in the US. Don't discount a
good trailer, remember you will live with a crappy trailer every time
you assemble and disassemble whatever you buy.
Cheers,
JJ
