Most gliders work out at about 6 (30 kg/m^2) dry with a 240 lb pilot, don't they?


My LS6 runs around 8psf (39 kg/m2) dry with me in it (240 on a good day). I would think you would have to get into open class or older std gliders to get as low as 6 psf...

Works great for no-ballast (Beer ballast?) contests...
