As I said, maybe the DRY handicaps for sports class need review, the ballasted were changed a year or 2 ago, time at which I was told the DRY handicaps for sports class are no longer used because the Sports Nats are competed ballasted but we still use the DRY sports handicaps in other events.

Maybe I should bring 15M next time? ;) Tom ...

It would be nice if we could adjust the 18m gliders to something more realistic but since the Sports class are now competed ballasted I think the dry handicaps for the sports gliders are not actively reviewed. If we change anything to the handicaps the pilots will crucify us. It has to come from GFA.
