Default AS 33

For race, you would want exatcly "low energy glider", competitions are not flown at vne & FL180. I wouldn't call V3 that, but if it will come out as good climbing glider it is a winner. Historically, almost all really succesful gliders are best climbers in it's class ( Discus, V2, LS8 etc.) Haven't had chance to compare my ASG29 to V3 yet but i do think that JS3's are not better (with 15m tips). With 18m wings it might be different story.

You are wrong concerning the 28 : it never made results in the standard class. It never broke the LS8 and discus2A domination. A good glider but not a beater.
The 30 was a failure in competition : too heavy, exceeding weight limit. Definitely not Ã* beater.
The 31 is a good cross country glider but not a beater in competition.
The ASG29 was and still is a beater in competition !
