- interesting to see how wing's loading was limited to 50 kg/m per square

I think it was a direct attack on the Diana 2's... the V2/29/27's couldn't
compete with it at 58kg/sqm.



The maximum certificated wing loadings for the gliders at the Sisteron Grand
Prix a

LS 8 50.00 kg/sqm

Ventus 2 54.29 kg/sqm

ASW 27 55.56 kg/sqm

Diana 2 57.87 kg/sqm

ASG 29/15 59.80 kg/sqm

If restricting all the gliders to the same 50 kg/sqm wing loading "hurts"
the Diana 2, it hurts the ASG 29/15 even more. So how is this a direct
attact on the Diana 2 ?
