I am sure the cheat grass that was hanging off the leading edge of the
wing, after I took a 9000ft climb in less than 4 minutes in one, certainly hurt the performance of the glider. Fortunatly I missed the few Garbage bags that were floating around in it as well. It did raise a few eyebrows as a rolled to a stop on the runway and the Cheat grass finally fell of the leading edge of the wing on to the Tarmac. Brian HP16T N16VP
