It's common saying that every coin has two sides, and the ongoing safety debate has had us looking for answers in every direction. That's why I decided to sit with one of the most experienced and rational pilots of our time to get his perspective on how we can collectively make responsible decisions so flight safety remains paramount in time to come. Because It's a well known fact that when camaraderie thrives, we all thrive.

Time and again we as pilots have often debated on weather size really matters or not, and if racing at elite levels can actually be classified as fair play or not considering significant performance advantages that come with flying bigger sized gliders, Bruce has long been an advocate of weightless competition format which negates this issue upto an extent. In this episode we explore this notion in depth and also the scientific explanations behind it.
