Default DG's in competition?

"Perceived" performance

Discus / ASW24 / ASW28 / LS7 / LS8 / SZD55 are all considered to have the
legs on DG300 series

Ventus / ASW27 / ASG29 considered to hahe the legs on DG 600 / 800

Duo considered to have legs on DG1000

If you were a budding comp pilot why would you buy a DG?

Why they're not seen in handicapped comps is a different matter.

P'raps there are just fewer around

Simple question. Why are DG sailplanes so seldom seen in competition?
