At the FAI level it seems like it used to be Cirrus or Libelle, but then they changed the handicap and now its ASW-20.


If the question is: "what glider has way too low handicap for it's performance in current FAI list", the answer is LS7.

That we make these questions, and can answer them, tells a lot about quality of FAI handicaps.

I think the Phoebus A would be in the running as well. The polar really drops off as it picks up speed, with a VNE of only 108 knots.
