The beauty of the Sailplane Grand Prix is that by controlling wingloading - they effectively handicap the latest gliders. This allows pilot skill to shine through even if flying the previous generation of 18m gliders.

Anyone know why none of the JS3s in the Australian Nationals are no
longer flying? At 07:03 19 January 2018, wrote: The beauty of the Sailplane Grand Prix is that by controlling wingloading - they effectively handicap the latest gliders. This allows pilot skill to shine through even if flying the previous generation of 18m gliders.

P.S. It's a damn shame that Norm's 179.6kph in his new JS3 was reduced to a leisurely 167.8kph due coming home 14 minutes under time
 It would have been trumped the very deserving winner by over 5%CJ

Yes. Saw a couple of them a few weeks ago at Waikerie
1 damaged outlanding, 2 had tailwheel retract cable swaging issues, in one case causing other damage. All had same problem, from new. Hmmmm....
