[Aus-soaring] Sports handicap DG1000
I protested loudly about the bad reference weight of the DG1OOO on the new handicap list. My clear memory was that I was only able to fit 60litres of water into the glider and so used my great mathematical skills to deride the reference weight allocated. The problem however was that my 'memory' was lacking and in fact I could place 60 litres into each wing (a significant difference). This means that my claim was completely incorrect and the handicap committee once again prove that they are very thorough and accurate in determining the appropriate weights and handicaps. My apologies to all concerned, in particular given that one member of the committee put themselves to great effort to collect the relevant data so to help me understand my error.
