best self-launcher propulsion system?
My vote is FES. 2 seconds from gliding to power, imperceptible drag.
Mine is a self sustainer, not SL, but a SL is under development and has flown successfully. When widely available, I think it is a strong contender. At present it would not be all things to all people – e.g. not coping well with 800 fpm sink, and more limited range than petrol models. But all glider choices are compromises – you have to pick what most closely suits your priorities. FES suits mine. Chris N.
