And don't be so sure that you'll land out frequently. Last year the first week of July I did a 300km FAI triangle in the Cherokee in 4:30! Seriously considered turning downwind after the finish and attempting to get 500km before sunset. Sounds great. But don't call it "low performance." Call it "high handicap!" Performance is in the hands of the pilot, and great performance can be extracted from these machines. John Cochrane as the 1-26 Association says "XC Soaring for the High Performance Pilot!" Was thinking the other day that maybe next year we should have a high class and a low class. day winners in high class get bottles of wine. low class winners, a case of PBR.
