This glider already exists; here it is:

High-deflection flaps, 14m wingspan, 20:1 L/D, 0.6 m/s sink. It coul
well be faster x-country than a 1-26. Not going to match a PW5 though.

Stuff weight shift control for a joke though.

Who cares? It's a lot more fun than a sailplane

Winch in the US quoted as $30, so how much is an aerotow?

Winch $17/non-members $22
Aerotows $11 hookup + $1.30/100, non-members +$12
