So it states a ratio of 28:1 which on the surface of it is around half of most sports gliders so that obviously isnt great but still usable.

Concerned about the wind penetration comment there - Is that just whilst in the glide or under power, penetration shouldnt alter whether under power or not? Do people normally soar/thermal under idle power or is engine shutdown normal?

If penetration is an issue it is difficult to see how it would really be usable for touring?

I will need to sit in one, just had a message from someone who is 6'3" and says it is spacious so sounds hopeful?
