I fully agree with Gary and Mike D the handicaps for the 19 20m gliders need
improving for these gliders to be competitive in open class
With respect to the current generation of 18m gliders the handicaps for flying
these in open class should be such to discourage this from happening or ban

I haven't noticed many ASW20's flying in open class, so I really don't
see the relevance of that comment.
What I do
Give me the ASW20 any day :-)

Hi Mike and All,
If you really want to buy one, I have HDY (15/16.6m configurations), with many
extras ready to go, with a fresh Form 2, at around $60,000! Google Mike
Maddock's site at Maddog Composites, and check out Trading Post for basic
details and a photo. If this appeals, either email me

Hi Robert
It wasn't a gratuitous statement honestly. I was just trying to show that
the relationship between the Nimbus and the equivalent age 15 Metre hasn't
changed. The ASW20 is from the same era as the Nimbus 2 and the ASG29 is the
same era as the Nimbus 4. Plus Open Class is just that, there
In the late 70s were 15M speeds faster than open class speeds? I think Malcom
Jinks and Tony Tabart would disagree!

Back in the 80s I remember flying GOD in Nationals at Waikerie where we started
as soon as we could and finished most days at dusk just squeezing home over the
fence.long time since I have flown those kind of tasks.once you

The problem facing the handicappers is that the Nimbus 2 technology is

is state of the art 21^st Century aerodynamics technology. An awful
lot of advancement has occurred in aerodynamics
