inclined ramp. There are two things slowing them and
limiting the height they coast to, gravity and drag.
Gravity has the same effect on both. Drag is higher on the
heavy glider, but it has more kinetic energy, so the higher
drag has less proportional effect on the distance up that
ramp that the glider will travel.

Please admitt that the heavy has a bigger job to do. You just need more
energy to carry a heavy load up. Please stop denying that, or the buildings
around us will start to soar ;-))))
