And, unfortunately, it didn't work. Didn't work because of us - the
pilots.
It's because if only we get a few hundreds of hrs. so we could appear in
the
competition world, most of us want to fly gliders of more and more L/D.
"Why
should I, THE PILOT with say 500 hrs. fly a bicycle like PW-5 with 30:1 or
something? I'm to good for that, I need 50:1 at least"

If the glider selected hadn't looked like a "Smart Car", maybe I'd
have bought one.


What's the best L/D on a Smart Car?
