Handicap system is reversed over here... If an LS4 was 1.06 in Aus, I'd be flying it! Sadly though, they divide their dist/speed by the handicap, where as in Australia we multiply dist/speed by handicap given... Hope this clears it up. WPP P.s. I thought the jantar scenario was strange also

Re: [Aus-soaring] Many hours wasted on this flight sim

89.56 m I would rather play with condor than Microsoft flight sim. Has any body tried the latest version of flight sim? The last version of flight sim i had was 2000 and Gliding was never very realistic. On 6/28/07, Lucas James <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: http://flightsimx.cyclops.amnesia.com.a

Re: [Aus-soaring] 1.00 a/c reins

As per Wombat's post about wing loadings. The handicap model depends on what lift / thermal model you choose. I dare say that the italians have their own ideas about the size, strength, spacing of their thermals. Alternatively they may have based the h'caps with some consideration for wave and/o

Re: [Aus-soaring] 1.00 a/c reins

They are the Italian handicaps - i think that should be enough explanation. But, I could say the same of some of the handicaps in use here ! As to the Astir - Are you confusing the Speed Astir ? This is definitely not the same as the Astir CS or 77 - it is a flapped machine similar in perfo

Re: [Aus-soaring] 1.00 a/c reins

The handicaps are peculiar. What are they based on? An Astir with a higher handicap that a cirrus or ASW19? A Jantar the same as an Astir? > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:aus-soaring- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adam Woolley > Sent: Friday, 13 July 2007 11:2

Perfect example why you would only take a Cirrus or another high performance low handicap glider (1.00 - cirrus, LS1-f,ASW-19) to a club class worlds. Have to work too hard in anything else! An LS4 is at 1.06.. http://www.aeccvv.it/Scoring/779_CI_Club2007.htm - 9 x 1.00 gliders (8 x cirrus, 1
