I was hoping the 13.5 meter class was going to be this way, but

gone exactly like the other classes.

Club class should be first generation type Std. Class sailplanes.

Std. Libelle
ASW 15
LS 1
Std. Cirrus
15 meter Phoebus A/B
STD. Jantar 1/2
Astir CS


Plenty of affordable examples available and the performance is

close enough
to handicap effectively.

Still a dreamer.

The Ka.6 is the first generation of Standard Class gliders. Those
that you mention are second generation, (but the first glass
ones...) Heinz Huth of Germany won two WGCs in STD Class in
a Ka.6CR in 1960 and 1963.
