Now that is interesting. bhanson..at..roitech.com - maybe we can chat off rec.soaring
All the FES gliders I have seen are 100k+ - you could get a nice ASW20 or even a ASW27 add 25k and still be within reach.
You would not end up with a glider that gets you to the Worlds or the top of a podium - but it would get you home
and not in the middle of a field in the dark
