Default FES underpowered for 18m ship?

But you're asking the wrong question. Whilst the TECHNOLOGY is mature,
the SPECIFIC UNITS we are using in gliders are engineered and built by small
firms in tiny quantities, and not subjected to the kind of testing
and reliability validation we take for granted in our cars, appliances, etc.
