The whole handicap thing remains a mystery to this racing sophomore. If I
had to fly my glider in soft conditions I would feel more advantaged, with low sink rates and good L/D below 65 knots (but not the advertised 44:1, which is a joke). When the conditions get strong (I fly in Arizona), my competitors disappear into the horizon when I find myself having to find my next thermal. Often this means they get to the next thermal and I don't. So a glider's handicap seems to have quite a different affect in different parts of the country! -ted/2NO "Ken Kochanski (KK)" wrote in message oups.com... http://sailplane-racing.org/rules.htm Ken Kochanski SRA Secretary
