Default The Future of the Standard Class

Starting next year, the standard class will no longer compete along
side of the 15m, 18m & open classes at the world chamionships. Is this
simply a logistical solution to having too many gliders at one
competition, or is this the beginning of the end of the standard class?

Default The Future of the Standard Class

The decision is based on logistics at the airfield and safety in the
air by reducing the number of gliders.

The standard class is still going strong. If you look at the number of
participants, the FAI 15m class is more at risk, while 18m is becoming
more popular.
