Default Average OLC flown distance by glider

At 156 km in his database, it's beating
the ASK-21 and Grob 103, which everyone loves.


Yes Bruce.
This is the *exactly* the "coup de théâtre" I am looking for by letting everybody compare this data among gliders.

Try enjoying the comparing featu

Obviously that doesn't necessarily mean that ASK 21 is harder to fly far than PW 5 -- because ASK 21's average could be affected by many other factors -- but it *definitely* means that PW 5 is capable of flights *that* long, which may be unexpected for a rookie like me listening to rumors only.

A good mix of opinions, rumors and data: that's what I am looking for by means of GliderReview. Enjoy!
