What is sad is that they call the PW-5 a "World Class Sailplane."
What I think would be cool would be a very strict one design class like in sailing. Start with a Discus and have very strict class rules. Only have a GPS for logging the flight, give them a basic and standard set of instruments, audio variometers and the same cockpit layout. Ballast them to the same weight and CG and then have everyone fly a different ship from day to day. Would truly be a pilots contest. And a Discus would ensure a level of performance that would make for interesting tasking in a variety of weather conditions. -Kevin |
