Not heard much lately about this new glider development or certification. Anyone have one delivered?
Interested pilots want to know


Good Afternoon/Evening GP Glider Followers(and Onlookers):

Please look at the following link for my latest blogpost including new details and pictures from the factory. http://www.gpglidersusa.com/blog/201...t-is-happening

Work is progressing at a slow but steady pace. The latest hold-up as reported to me just a few days ago is they are waiting on the correct battery connectors for the propulsion system. With an innovation project like this, it always seems to be something. However, company cash-flow is good and the company remains committed 100+% to the project's cxompletion AND commercial success. When the GP 14 flies, we are confident that it WILL bring the latest aerodynamics and performance to the 13.5 meter space. There is nothing "legacy" about this project!
