But per FAI rules, no Club Class glider can have a span of greater than 15 meters. It is not just a performance range, as permitted here in the US.

The HP-14 is a wonderful sailplane. Maybe not the easiest to fly well, but certainly not difficult to fly. And, there is one for sale there in Oz.

HP-14 Serial 1

Std Cirrus at 16m is on the IGC club class handicap list so span alone may not disqualify
