Hi Not sure this has much to do with the rest of the conversation but here goes. Any thoughts??
Having a better glider at a comp like JG for instance would be a good advantage. I did some thinking and have worked out a theory its top secret but thats why im telling people. As far as i know the Joey glide comp uses club class handicaps which is fine but we are also able to carry water and i don't think there is any extra penalty for this. So if you take an older glider like your std cirrus and put a whole 60l in there then take your Discus2 or LS-8 and put 200l the better glider has way more of an advantage. So at a comp like JG you would be better off trying to get hold of the latest and greatest, am i right?
