Hi, just a practical example...I own part of a Swift (aerobatic glider), which has
the very same wing (profile etc.) as the Fox, just
a bit less span. So the Fox has definately more drag
then the Swift (more wing span, no retractable gear,
bigger fuselage....), but weights significantly more.BUT, on upwards lines (45° or 90°) I can show much
longer lines with the Fox than with the Swift, haveing
the same entry speed and pulling the same g´s. Let´s say I want to fly a 45° upwards line with a full
slow roll in it. The Swift rolls much faster than the
Fox, nevertheless the lines before and after the roll
are significantly longer with the Fox.And this doesn´t only happen to me, every pilot haveing
flown both can confirm this.Just my 2 cents,Markus
