Things that have no size have no drag. Every little bit helps, if you can fit in.

Damian Goldenzweig from Argentina world ranked 2277 did very well to finish 28th in the larger fuselage prototype self-launching Ventus-3M. Analysing his flights on See You compared to little fuselage V3s he flew with doesn't show any significant performance difference. On Task 11, for example, he started with and mostly flew with highly ranked Mario Kiessling and/or Peter Millenaar and beat them both. The final glide performances at around 105 knots look identical - even allowing for me looking through a wishful thinking filter.
