OK, interesting concept and looks like a lot of fun.
Calling it "high performance" is a bit of a stretch
though, if we are talking conventional gliders:
Best L/D 36 at 50 KTS and 24 at 75 KTS, would put
it somewhere in the club-class performance-wise.
I'm sure it is very "high performance" within its own
UL-category.
