The mast-mounted electric propulsion system is being designed in-house by Grzegorz Peszke (past World Record holder in F3E Class Electric Motor R.C. Gliders), the motor is being built in the Czech Republic, and the propeller will be constructed in house by Peszke S.C. as part of its existing propeller production lines. More details to be released over the upcoming days and weeks at gpsglidersusa.com

I looked at some 3d drawings and renderings at your webpage. Glider looks stunning but what's the point of doing two different fuselages and 3 different wings at the same time, and try to break into market? How many gliders other than GP14E model are you thinking of selling? No one buys glider without engine, and no one buys glider that doesn't glider better than older ones. With 43:1 LD and decent wingloading GP 14E might just be interesting enough for people flying older club/std/15m ships. Though when price goes close to 100k eur fully equipped (intruments, trailer, taxes), those same people are looking at used 18m self launchers...

Love the design. Reminds me of the Diana 2.
An electric self launch 13.5 meter sailplane should be in high demand, especially after Kawa wins with it in August!

A few of us have other plans

Electric Self Launch 13.5 Meter ships are already in high demand!
