Wasn't the original European I20 sailplan smaller than the US version?
I think that was the basis for the F-20 sailplan, but some comments were that it was underpowered for US windspeeds (average 8 mph). I could be wrong....
So, apparantly there are two sailplans in existence anyway. The big (USA) sailplan, and the small (EU) sailplan...
We are different....yet not so different...
