just look at the current handicap boys and girls, which is equal for pure and FES. is that what it needs to be? you tell me HC. god of soaring? wow, thanks? take a pill there pal. you'll feel better soon. WTH? Have you looked recently? Current handicaps from the SSA web page on 2/24/14 AB Sportine Aviacija LAK-17B W 18 868 0.845 AB Sportine Aviacija LAK-17B FES MW 18 998 0.835 Keep in mind the handicaps are for sports class, no disposable ballast. So they think the extra weight allowed more than makes up for the extra drag. I wonder if there is a handicap adjustment for removing FES blades like there is for aftermarket wing root fairings or turbulators?
