It's interesting to contemplate the notion of fairness in a competition replete with random inequalities and more inconsistencies than constants. Cruising sounds a lot more rewarding and less stressful than handicap racing these days. At least for an old duffer:)

PHRF-LO has made a lot of changes to try to make the completion fair ... for instance in 2012 the add on for a fixed 2 bladed prop out of aperture was adjusted from +3 to +12. The PHRF-LO Handicappers Manual is available online to anyone that is interested http://www.phrf-lo.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=88&Itemid=186 Part 2 of the manual includes the adjustment factors that are used.
