FAI (IGC) rules for US Club Class Nationals - Petition

The distortion, ignorance of facts and double standards are nearing exceptional levels. I am concerned that the US rules committee functions more like a "think tank" than a committee of ALL fellow soaring pilots. Sean, Can I assume from your statements that you see nothing wrong with lightweight pilots flying with 80 pounds of lead in their cockpit to be at IGC MTOW and at equal wingloading with heavier pilots? Example: I fly a Discus b at 792# with a 1.08 IGC handicap. Sarah Arnold might fly a Discus A ( same 1.08 h/c) and would need well over 110# of lead to match my gross. How do you safely do this, and why? This IGC rule is absurd and I would not support it for a US Nationals. Rick Walters
