Which sustainer system would you chose for your sailplane?
This thread was originally about types of sustainer. Just a note, while the jet engines sound cool, they are effectively the same weight as a solo sustainer with the required fuel, they need a lot of fuel. and you cannot windmill them. For me a retractable small sustainer would be the best. Unfortunately the ASG-32 is the only such glider. Wish there was a single seat 18 meter with retractable electric sustainer.
