If you are on the optimum angle for a particular weight then, for a different weight at that previous angle, you will be off optimum - the glide angle...
Suggest two tacks you might take - (a) run some forum searches on the question as there are numerous threads on this general subject (b) post on...
Playing with glide characteristics varying with power is not something I've looked at in testing. However, think of things this way - for the ty...
Thanks for that, Stuart. My take on the tracking definition is that tangent is the more correct ratio, albeit that the difference is minimal. ...
