Default US club class definition

FAI is considering a proposal at their upcoming meeting to further expand the FAI definition. The proposal does not change the handicap range but it does propose to allow water ballast in the club class and set a maximum weight. The goal of this proposal apparently is to shift the range of competitive gliders up.

Read all about it. Let your IGC representative know what you think.

Same Cirri/Libelle/etc. will fly the competition, only now with ballast. Current scoring system dictates that you have to fly together with other pilots, so you need to have same performance glider as others. This fact does not change with water ballast.
