Changes principally affect motor versions of some sailplanes that have reference handicaps adjusted for weight difference from the base glider using the just approved weight adjustment formula.

I think the pilot was Tom Knauff, but not sure. Is this ever taken into account when handicapping the Ventus? Thanks, Mike |
