Default 13.5 Meter World Championships

My ideal glider would be something with Discus performance & FES.
Many of the pilots in my club fly Discus / LS4 performance gliders, or
lower performance club class.

The GP14 claims to have mid 40s performance, as does the original Discus.
If there was a FES option I'd seriously consider it.

The problem with the PW5 was it had no performance & was ugly as sin.

Why would anyone spend money on a 13.5 glider? Big mistake of the IGC t
permit the class. Even bigger mistake of the Manufacturers to buil
something for it. Glorified PW5's and we all know how that ended!
