Here’s one for ya Bot;

(or anyone else that may know)

Two identical airplanes at the same speed, altitude, and heading the same direction. The only difference between the two is that one is heavier than the other. Both are within weight and CG limits.
They are both flying along and loose all power at the same time. Assume both pilots think alike.

Question(s): Which one glides the farthest and why?

Here’s a hint:
My wife’s Grob G104 sailplane has a ballast tank capable of carrying 300+ pounds of water!!
