The myth about the JS3 being too heavy to climb, is just that, and if it comes to the run, I would rather be in a JS3 if I wanted to get home first FAI should mandate a minimum cockpit size to allow for the larger pilot -smaller pilots are getting a slight performance advantage in these smaller cockpit planes i.e Discus 2a vs the b. If it can't fit an Oscar then it should be banned from comps! I think a more typical FAI solution would be to add new classes for tall pilots. 18m-tall and 18m-short. |
