So......what is the handicap between "fat pilots" vs. "skinny pilots"? Some days (in a light wingloading glider) the difference in pilot weight can make a big difference in higher speed glide performance.........

"Let the discussion begin!"....... Yes, I represent the light end, sorta sucks back in the old days where I was flying ridges against other pilots that had me by 100+lbs in pilot weight on a "dry contest". I even asked my DR if I could get a medical slip stating I needed access to 20US gallons of liquids to drink every day.....never worked....sigh........

Yes, I was trying to be humorous, likely failed.
For now, the 1-26 class is likely the best "one design" class out there. Yes, I own part of one, still fun to fly it.
