Powerful electric self launch w/o the FES propeller drag, 45:1, flapped 13.5 meter. Light, small and easier to manage.

Roughly 80k complete (yes, COMPLETE) with trailer. Even better if you order at the convention. That is simply incredible pricing.

I would be even more excited to see this little puppy at the convention floor! I already know what a SH wing with a Maumer winglet looks like. ;-)

Thanks for the props for this glider Sean! Things are shaping up nicely for this glider and, as you say, the price/performance with self-launch capability is pretty spectacular. Promotional pricing is still available for early adopters!

Unfortunately, Innovation and High Quality take longer than the oringinal very aggressive ambitions of this young glider manufacturer. Things are progressing very well at the factory and they are putting the finishing touches on the prototype for first flight very "shortly". If someone could give a call to the weather gods of southeastern Poland, everyone involved would appreciate it. While a GP 14 will not be on the floor of this convention, please stop by the GP Gliders USA booth at the convention to learn more and pickup some cool schwag.
