Default Schempp-Hirth Dealer flying Schleicher Glider at open nationals?

I sure wish the work that the team who made the Eta Biter and Concordia translated to a production glider

Amazing work though on these birds. Hell I would even love it if the Quintus was in production. While I do love flying smaller ships there is nothing like an open class bird, they are the most beautiful and man can they go. Noticed that the open speeds at Hobbs were approximately 8 mph faster than the 18 meter birds, and that is I assume in the normal strong conditions of Hobbs.

Heinz is a little bigger than "the Schempp Hirth dealer" and the Eta Biter is a little bigger than an "ASW-22".
