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.

permit the class. Even bigger mistake of the Manufacturers to buil
something for it. Glorified PW5's and we all know how that ended!



Sounds like the GP14 isn't going to make it... That's going to mix up the results somewhat!
