Why would anyone spend money on a 13.5 glider? Big mistake of the IGC to
permit the class. Even bigger mistake of the Manufacturers to build
something for it. Glorified PW5's and we all know how that ended!

My ideal glider would be something with Discus performance & FES.
Many of the pilots in my club fly Discus / LS4 performance gliders, or
lower performance club class.

The GP14 claims to have mid 40s performance, as does the original Discus.
If there was a FES option I'd seriously consider it.

The problem with the PW5 was it had no performance & was ugly as sin.

Why have a FES in a GP14 when you could have the retractable electric self-launcher version - and forego the extra drag and ugliness of the prop moustache?
