Luka, I don't see why you cannot give at least a large part of the

information which I or Eric requested. By all means use manufacturer

quoted information for the rival products. I must say if I was in the

market for a sustainer I would be looking for such information. I have

worked out from the FES website that for the FES system you claim 45

kg weight, no increase in drag (can that really be true? - many people

would find that really important), 5,000 foot of climb, and 3 knots

rate of climb. The only new 15m plus glider available with the system

is the LAK 17 15/18, but you say the system is technically suitable

for retro-fitting to a wide range of gliders. Have I got all that right?



Even if Luka doesn't put info about his competition on his webpage, it

would help if he could at least put info about his own product in an

easily read and easily found table.



Or get Paul Remde on board as his US representative!

Here's the URL for a PDF brochure that was handed out at the 2012 Reno Convention on the FES. Hopefully, it will answer some of the many questions that are out there!
