In the 15 meter World's, an ASG-29 won and a Dianna 2 got second place, with a Ventus 2ax in fourth place. I am sure the pilots had some part in the excellent results. But are the next gen gliders actually better? One would think the V3 with a max wing loading of 11.3 pounds, will be at a disadvantage to the birds flying at 12 pounds or more.
