I was just checking...

Intruder is right though (thanks also to Bellerophon). My mistake

What I meant is the heavier glider is given a speed to fly and the other one is also given a speed to fly. So they both have given speeds

the same difference...

Nah, it's about glide ratio at the same speed and about time if they fly at their OPTIMUM speeds for their individual weights (masses).
