Introduction to Glider Match Racing I

The aircraft that will be used in the World Air Games are being provided by the Fédération Française de Vol à Voile.

They are a pair of Schempp-Hirth Discus 2c gliders, of 18 meter wing span. The gliders have consecutive serial numbers, and they will be ballasted for each flight, so that the all up weight and center of gravity positions will be the same.

As a further step to address fairness, the pilots flying against each other will alternate flying each glider.
