Default What do you think of the 20 Meter 2 Seat Class?

Simple solution so its owners don't feel left out: have the IGC assign
it a handicap and let it fly in Club Class.



At least in Germany this is already possible - the PW-5 has a handicap
factor of 86 (for comparison, a Ka-6e has 88, Std. Libelle 98, LS-4 106,
ASH-25 124) .

Its the same in the UK (I think the numbers are the same too) but the
PW-5 is not in the 2006 IGC handicap list. That is the latest list I
could find on their web site. Have they omitted it in the interests of
keeping the performance range of Club Class gliders fairly small?
