That's a good point. Dave Nadlers Anteres 20e is for sale and is ready to go. Probably not much more than a new FES -8 meter glider (maybe less). Self launch, etc. Might be worth a peek!


I wonder why the other manufactures have not noted the Antares electric motor and moved to have that as an option. Are there downsides? I thought the Antares showed a lot of original thought. I did not buy one for other reasons though.
