Handicapping due to airframe is completely condition dependent. If the air is active, and the thermals close together, all planes are virtually equal, and comes down to the landing. Of course, the experienced pilot will minimize the effects of the poor conditions, and take advantage of his "handicap." In other words, hard to come up with an equitable number or percentage that will work consistently. You'll probably need to use some trial and error, and see what works at your particular field under normal conditions for your area. I think you'll find that the data collected will be more representative of the pilots flying each model, than the models themselves.
Once you find out that doesn't work, and the same guys keep winning.... In golf they handicap the players... not their clubs of choice.... have fun D __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
