Best Club class glider

Tim,

I think you meant to say "standard class", right? Club Class (as in the
FAI Club Class) does allow flaps, and many gliders with flaps are on the
list (e.g. DG-200, ASW-20...). And the Mosquito is on the list:

It has a handicap of 1.07, like the DG-200, LS-3, etc. Not advocating
DG/LS equipment, just pointing out the handicap...

Mosquito is a great ship but it's not in the club class (it's flapped)
and
would however fit into the European "Racing class" where they do allow
flapped gliders.....( also mentioned was the .Mini-Nimbus but it's a poor
comparison and lacks many good features of the Mosquito!)
Hence, the Hornet is the real 1st choice for "club" class being similar
to
the Mosquito but without flaps and has a different airfoil as well......
I've owned and flown both the Hornet and Mosquito and neither has the
"exceptions" of the rest like manual hook-up's, small ineffective dive
brakes, all flying tails, lift off canopies, small uncomfortable
cockpits or
infamous DG/LS support (lack of) issues .it's just really hard to pick
on
these terrific Glasflugel ships.......
