The weight makes a difference to the rate of sink but I see no obvious reason why it should make a big difference to the glide angle. After all, airliners need good lift drag ratios to make them economical. Bingo. Less drag == more glide == lower fuel consumption == fewer $$ losses.. Add to the list of "gliders" the one that deadsticked into the Canary Islands recently after a big fuel leak.. -- A host is a host from coast to & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433
