Who got to pick the PW-5 for world class? What were they
drinking!!???

We have a PW-5 in my club and it hardly ever gets flown. When it
does
fly, it tends to stay locally even though our club promotes and
encourages cross country soaring. That glider just doesn't have long
enough legs
to run with. I like the Discus idea above, or maybe an ASW-20 type
ship. I
would love to compete in a one design class, it would surely reduce
the
"$$$$$" aspect of winning a race. If you have an ASW-20 and compete
against an ASG-29 in 15M.....good luck! With a one design class, the
pilots skill would shine rather than the aerodynamic engineers skill
shining.
