While it is early, I can't help but notice the gliders in the top 20 of each of the first two days... ASG29 wins Day 1 (Diana3 second), JS-3 Day 2. Combined top 20 scoring so far: Eight JS-3 (1, 2, 8, 12, 12 (tie), 15, 16, 18). Eight Ventus3 (4, 4 (tie), 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 17), two ASG-29 (3, 14), one Ventus 2cxa FES (19), one JS-1C (20).

Gliders from 35th to 45th - seven ASG-29's; two JS-1's; two Ventus 2cx's....

It will be VERY interesting to see if strong conditions (1000 pt days) will shift things (685 pts Day 1, 804 Day 2).

What will Day 3 bring?


For those keeping score at home it would appear the shiny new V3s and JS3s mostly went to the highest ranked pilots - and were pretty evenly distributed. Median FAI pilot ranking by glider:

V3: 64
JS3: 56
ASG29: 688

Ought to be a reasonable comparison of the two newest designs.
