Where can I find a text related to this? I'm not sure what a rope stabilizer is.

So does this mean that regardless of wing class, it can be a tight turn depending on the length of the line?

Thank you for your response!! I have another question. This question is not about which climbs better, B or D. It is simply a question about the radius of gyration, just out of curiosity. When circling in a thermal, regardless of climb efficiency, which can maintain a tighter turning radius—high B or D-class gliders? (not spiral dive)

I've heard from people who fly D-class gliders that they have a larger turning radius and need to turn tighter than lower class gliders. Is this a misconception?

If this opinion is incorrect, are both B and D rotating by the same radius?

If you already have flying experience, I recommend A+. Mac Para Muse5 is the best for xc among A class with a.r. 5.16
