Don't know if this will help, but in the US our handicap
uses manufactures empty weight + 250 pounds (200 for
pilot and chute & 50 for instruments, battery, o2,
etc.) We list the SZD-55-1 at 740 pounds, so the EW
would be 490.

Hopefully someone from Germany can help out. I'm
in the
midst of a discussion with someone about the handicap
for the
SZD-55. The debate is on what reference weight is/was
used for the
handicap. The table I see from the DAEC includes
reference weights
for many ships, but not for the SZD-55. Can anyone
tell me the
reference weight used to establish the handicap?

Hi JJ,

Thanks. I'm assuming the Germans and Brits do the same, but I want
to get it (more or less) directly from the source.
