ETAs in WGC
Earlier, Wiktor Kozlik wrote:
It looks like two ETAs are going to fly during WGC in Leszno... Was the open class glider weight limit increased or the ETA's weight reduced? Good question. I don't know the answer, but I did some digging to refine the question a bit. The FAI Sporting Code, Section 3, Annex A, Part 4.2.1 states: : The following sporting maximum : take-off masses and limitations : shall be enforced: : : a. Open Class – 750 kg, except that : two-seater motor-gliders that exceed : 750 kg may be flown at their actual : mass but may not carry disposable : ballast. So, if these ETA are considered motorgliders, then they can fly as they are. And, according to this, they have motors: http://www.leichtwerk.de/eta/en/data/index.html Thanks, and best regards to all Bob K. |
