Hilton Cup Handicap questions
Ok, I have laid out the 1000K FAI traingle, working on the water to
load on board (thanks everyone for the comments) to try to get around then I look up the handicaps to see how the Ventus B stacks up when I find this: Ventus B .885 Ventus 2A .895 Ventus 2B .900 LS6 A/B/C .900 ASW27B .907 What am I missing here? Anyone want to trade a V2 or ASW27B for my Ventus B? The handicap says my 23 year old Ventus is better than your new ones. Tim |

The 2005 SSA handicaps say:
Ventus B .899 Ventus 2A .883 Ventus 2B .884 ASW 27 .880 Anyhow it amounts to a couple of bug's worth difference between them. |

Oh sorry forgot to include my numbers came from:
http://barronhiltoncup.com/ The SSA numbers would make much more sense. |

The hilton cup numbers look like they are based on how easy the glider
is to fly - at least for the Ventus B vs LS6 (from personal experience)! Kirk 66 |

I'm not sure where you got your handicaps, but I found a similar oddity. My Ventus C with a B fuselage (large) has a worse handicap (CH2003) than with the A fuselage (small). The best answer I could come up with was that the B fuselage weighs more than the A, giving it a higher wing loading. Presumably the handicap was supposed to be adjusted for actual weight relative to the listed weight. Your handicaps still look odd. The list Tim used is bizar An ASW 20 has a handicap of .900; an ASW 27 is .907! And try to get the DG 400 pilots around here to believe this: DG 400(17) = .869; ASH 26 E = .875! If these handicaps were used in the OLC, I'd be doing a lot better. -- Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly Eric Greenwell Washington State USA |
