I agree - FES seems the future.

BUT - now after the SSA Convention..... the 13.5 self launchers are looking so inviting. I origionally thought Sustainer was the way to go on a 15m with 18m tips. But now the 13.5 are claiming 40+:1 glide ratio. next year will be decision time

good problem to have!

FES seems to dominate the Convention floor.
