In general, not a single one of them has indicated any interest in stepping down to a C wing (and I’ve asked), so I’m not really convinced by this idea[…]

To be honest I'd discounted the light wings but yeah the Skywalk is a good shout, thanks!! (probably worth a look, for me, personally, along with the new Phi) So perhaps that's the purpose of[…]

I would join the crowd suggesting that "proper" high B is a bit too much. In general, at this level I would think a good low B or just B is the best, with peace of mind it gives being the most important thing for XC progress. Kind of in any longer XC you get at[…]
