I wonder if they are using the CG tow hook, or if they have installed a
hook forward of that. I thought that you couldn't have a new glider
with only a CG hook in Europe.

Well, that answers the question of how to fit the FES to a glider with a non-circular nose section, like the Discus and Ventus!



I wonder who the intended buyer is, though. Avid racers won't like the extra drag and those attracted to self-launchers won't have enough power. Are there enough folks like me who fly a fair amount of cross-country and who like the idea of a reliable sustainer?

This is a big prop. I wonder if they tried to self launch it. I bet the engine is powerful enough and it is all about battery capacity.
