I guess it would work with Open Class, but I was referring to Standard Class. When you look at the numbers, in Australia (according to the CASA register) there are :

36 Std Cirruses
42 Std Libelles
5 ASW-15s
8 Open Libelles
4 Jantar Stds
30 Pik-20s (Yes, there was 1 there. B & D Model Pik-20's might have a bit of an advantage over the rest)
8 LS1s (The LS1f wasnt around then, but close enough)


And although there were no Astirs or Hornets around then, they are close enough in performance that you would probably include them as well (between them, there are 72 of these aircraft in Aus).

That is 204 eligible gliders. Hell, maybe we could hold the comp at Waikerie!

This idea was mentioned some years ago, but how about a 1974 World

fixed tasking, etc...

Hey

Alice could fly in that comp - with water ballast yet - bring it on!
