Correct. The highest performance glider will go around fastest, the lowest will land out with the end of soaring conditions for the day. Particularly the later the start time is set, and the larger the fixed task length. Thus the valid comparison becomes the size of the wallet. Which is why in 1981 Sports class and handicaps came into being. _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [email protected] To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
