Great price point. Seems to be about $25k less than Silent with BRS. Slick looking trailer. Really taken back with the pylon electric vs going with a FES. FES seems to be safer, and less moving parts as well as less drag. I understand that they made it in house and the FES itself is about $25k, but it seems no one is competing with the FES manufacture and its offered in 3 or 4 different gliders.

I would like to see one of these gliders and wondering if it will debut at the SSA Convention.


On Facebook GP Gliders recently said the following:

"In November we have two major events for the VELO scheduled - first flight in Krosno and flutter tests at Institute of Aviation in Warsaw. Stay tuned for more news!"

Regarding the SSA Convention, I know that they would like to have a GP 14 VELO there, but you may want to contact Tim McAllister to get the latest on their plans. Thanks - Renny
