Hey, Steve... isn't the centre section of the 604 already longer than 13.5m???


Nah, it is only about 7 meters. *So, I have room to do some fancy aero
stuff with the new 13.5 meter tips.


If you put winglets on upside down, don't they effectively reduce your wingspan?

Not near as much as replacing 7.5 meter tips with 3.25 meter tips
does!

I support John Cochrane"s comment. I would like to see any glider
with a handicap plus or minus 7 percent of a PW-5 allowed in a "Fun
Class". The USA then could send the winners in this class to fly in
the 13.5 meter internationals.
