The sailplane of the future, heck, the sailplane of NOW should have a
finish that never requires sanding nor refinishing in order to
maintain it's performance. It should come out of the factory in
perfect condition and stay that way. Waxing would be "optional", and
only for those who need some quiet time with their glider.

Not that I'm trying to put refinishers out of business. No! There's
a lot of old ships that will still need refinishing for years to come,
but the NEW ones should have surfaces that will never need to be
refinished.

Oh yea, this glider of the future with the no-refinish surfaces,
should have performance capability better than ASG-29/Ventus 2/DG808/
LS10/eta/EB28, etc...
