Good Evening All:

After a very long wait, the GP 14 Velo took to the air yesterday (November 24th) from Krosno, Poland by both aero-tow and electric self-launch. More details to come but check GP Gliders on FaceBook for pictures and video. First pilot reports are very good. We are finally flying!!!

Looks like a fantastic glider Tim, congrats to GP. Anyone have any comments about the Velo, or any of the GP gliders for that matter? Thread drift into completely unrelated topics/nonsense is becoming the norm on this group.... So, is there a timeline for US delivery for the Velo? A rough timeline for the Jeta that you could inform us of Tim? The Jeta seems like a glider that could fill a very large niche. It sure would be one that would do all of what I want from a glider if it performs even close to advertised. I wonder what the planned empty weight and max gross are, and how much ballast it might take. All questions that I'm sure will be answered when GP wants to answer them, but I thought I might get the thread back on track...
