Hi Adam
Contrary to your advice I did check out the results of ther other classes.
Since you elected
to focus on 15 Meter class I have taken the liberty to bring up the 18 Meter
results.
a) The first two places went to ASG 29 Pilots
b) There were six ASG 29 amongst the first 10 placegetters
The e-mail I sent was literally meant to be a cheeky one, knew it'd cause a
stir amongst readers. As I saw it, the comment to not to bother with the other
classes basically meant - that most would, they'd see the full picture..
I noticed that the AS gliders were the machine of choice in 18m,
Yep, the Dwarf model Schemp is the machine of choice for 15M in crap
conditions!
After spending 3 weeks in a V2B I have a lot of respect for them, however for
numerous reasons there is NFW I would trade my 29 for one!
The 29 owners flew 18M so not many to compare. How many V2 -15s in Aus?

Hi Tom
Your e-mail prompted me to look at the results of the pre-worlds in Uvalde,
USA.
Bruce did exceptionally well. Apparently he flew an ASG 29 and managed to
win six days out of eight.
Later today I will write to him and congratulate him on the effort. I assume
he has decided to fly an

I have it on very good authority that the French team has just ordered a JS1!!

What, no comment on adjusting the handicap to make it worthwhile for those
who don't have an ASG29 or JS1 to come to a comp and compete in their
Ventus's? I am sure the ASG29 owners would expect the same when the next
generation of 18 metre overtake them. Funny thing is the handicap committee

Really? I thought the handicap committee had an LS4, a JS1 and an ASG29, has it
changed?

Hi Ron
That may be so but I have it on equally good authority that Schleicher
sold another eleven ASG 29 in just under six weeks.
It seems that the gliding world is rapidly waking up. I hasten to add
that the Australian competition scene proved to be clearly a step ahead
of the rest.

Imagine if they pulled 30KG of empty weight out of it.

Perhaps I don't understand. Thought the aforementioned Europeans and Pre-Worlds
were FAI 15m and 18m class comps.
P7 Gary Ittner (second in 18m at Uvalde) used to fly his 17.6m Ventus C/A
in the then-handicapped US Open Nationals and score very well on the fast days.
Gary still has a Discus
I think it a good bet that the differences in pilot skill, fitness and
preparation will count for much more than the differences in capability
of the designs, especially in this class where much new development work
has taken place in recent times.
As to who chooses what, I am sure that (as
