How about
* the Grunau at 13.57 meters (OK shave 0.07 meters off if you must) or
* the Ka1 and Ka3 each at 10 meters or
* the Hütter 17 at 9.69 meters or
if you want to do have a helper in the back seat downloading the latest
info while you fly,
* the Schweizer SGU 2-22 at 13.11 meters.

It is interesting to note that the Grunau Baby was made in more numbers
than the total of all the gliders in the list below.

How about calling it the Maxi class?

If you regard this as a glider, I could add a couple of motorgliders,
some of them not self-launching:

Messerschmitt Me-163
Bell X-1
Bell X-2
Douglas D-558 II
North American X-15
....

is a proposal of creating 13.5 class on IGC agenda on their *next
meeting in Laussane.

I snagged a gif image of a Russia AC-4 from a W&B sheet. Brought it in
to Photoshop and did a freetransform on the image. Basically I
stretched it out lengthwise until the shape became similar to what we
consider a sleek fuselage must look like.

I must say, it does look compelling...........now, can A.S. do the
same thing to their tooling??

I still think if these guys had done some better ID work they would
still be cranking them out.
