What exactly would be crappy with the Idaflieg
measurements?

I have no other explanation to 304 vs. Mosquito handicaps. Do
you?

The Idaflieg measurements involve a massive effort (calibrated
reference
sa=
ilplane, towing both sailplanes early morning high up multiple
times, lots

of customized measurement electronics and software)and are the
most
accurat=
e measurements of glider polars you will ever get.

What you then do with the results is another story (which neither
bothers
n=
or interests me).

Trouble is sailplanes rarely compete in the smooth morning air!

More axe work at the bottom of the handicap list. Asw19 and cirrus handicapped the same? A light szd-55 with the same handicap as a libelle. And the us wants to adopt this handicap list?

If this change ends up reflected in the us rules I might have to go get a real job again so I can afford to double or triple my investment in the sport so I can stay competitive...
