If were gonna rei-engineer records, Id rather redo all the records according to L/D. Lets say 3 groups: under 28/1, 29-40, above 40 etc. The wingspan don’t mean much when comparing most ships nowadays. A minilak at 13.5 meters can outfly an 18 m open cirrus. And lumping that same mini lak in with a 1-26 isn’t right either lol.

AFAIK the world record distance in 13.5m is currently held by a 1-26.
