Default Which sustainer system would you chose for your sailplane?

Luka,
Many of US glider ports have 4-5000ft paved runway.
Do you think electric scooter hub motor would help FES launch
850lbs Standard glider ?
Do you think , you could change shape of the batteries so we can slip
them in the wings instead of water bags ?
With Chinese batteries prices dropping down,and most of US gliders registered experimental,do you think you could sell FES kits for $15000 if you have at least 100 customers ?
In US most of us are keeping gliders in the trailer, and trailer sits outdoors,did you think about creating solar charging system for FES batteries on the trailer ?
