The glider that currently holds the Cat 2 UCLG record has an extreme bunt, an extremely stiff fuse and it has no tip washout.

  2) To get a great transition you want washout, again locking the flap at the tip achieves this.

       I would try not to have a bunt during the launch. A bunt indicates your fuse is too weak and is bending. You can get the same model higher if you don't have a bunt. The shortest distance between to points is a straight line.
