I assume you mean to imply that a fuselage with a smaller cross-section, hence less drag, could then be employed. This has sort of been done in the HP-18 series of gliders. In the HP-18 one lays almost flat on one's back, fet forward of course, with the head tilted upward somewhat using a head rest. The HP-18 fuse is pretty short compared to most. Comfort can be an issue, or so I'm told. But to be fair, many say they like it just fine. -Doug And don't forget the Siren Edelweiss C30S \ / \./ ----------------(o)----------------- u Diamant anyone? Thought the BS-1 was also very prone.
