So if there are 1000+ LS4's and 1000+ Jantars, why
not figure
out the handicap and let them race together? What
a minute,
that already exists as sports class. And since one
design means
tweaking, refinishing, reprofiling, etc, etc,....what
is the likelihood of a completely level playing field
anyway? Well the
winter solstice is just around the corner, so another
thread can
deal with the PW5.



From doing a bit more research, it seems the IGC
World Class goal was really just lowest cost. It
wasn't really aimed at seasoned racing pilots.

So I suppose it succeeded in its goal. Hmmm...
maybe the Russia will be the next World Class glider...
Boy wouldn't it be nice if it was at least
an AC-4c (retractable) though? :-P
