Is there any update on GP Gliders USA? Last news is Tim McAllister
decided to close GP Gliders North America.

That's unfortunate.
Would have been nice to hear this directly from Tim instead of what
seems
to be rumo(u)rs.com, especially from some unknown person who
doesn't sign a
name.
The announcement alluded to is here.

Hardly surprising when FAI are constantly moving goal posts with the
class that the manufacturer are aiming at. The GP14 would not have
been legal in 13.5m class, except if flown by a lightweight jockey if FAI
kept the proposed 35kg/m wingloading limit and self launch capability. .
Perhaps why the FAI move to 15m - give the GP15 Jetta a chance at
some sales? Just another 'rich boys' class now though and debatable
wether it is 'gliding/soaring'.
