Default Formula 1.0 Grand Prix

You're right - the SZD-59 would be eligible. It's likely that it doesn't have a club class handicap in Australia because one has never attended a club class comp (I think there is only one here). If someone wanted to bring one, it would be a paperwork issue.

The Discus is way above the performance range for our competition. The Jantar Std 2/3 (and SZD-59) are the upper limit.

Cheers,
Nick.

Not sure how many are in Australia, but you can safely add the SZD-59 to that list since it's pretty much a Jantar 3 as far as aerodynamics are concerned.

Same wing w/slightly larger ailerons and removable 1m tips (13.2m acro mode) and same fuselage but with the tailplane from the big Jantar, but in 15m it's essentially the same polar with a slight nod to the 48-3.

Discus seems strangely absent from that list.
