In the absence of official information, we believe that the 15 Meter Class will be limited to 454 kg takeoff mass. This makes sense, since the few ASW-20s that can go heavier would have an advantage without this limit. This also raises the question of whether they will issue penalties at the scales for being grossly overweight.
We think that all the Jantars entered can reach 525 kg, so there should be no problem there.
We aren't sure what the tow release altitude will be for this contest. The Local Procedures mention both 500 and 600 meters AGL. The pilots are hoping for the more traditional 600, but nothing is official, yet.
