Dear gliderpilots!

Manufacturers are not completely sure which is the way to go. So here you can vote for your favorite sustainer system:

Thank you,

It's interesting to see all your perspectives.
Personally, instant action without trim change wins every time....
Having witnessed a number of near misses, waiting for pylon extraction/engine firing - not to mention how the added pressure to pilot workload affects judgement. Sorry, for me it's a no-brainer.
The only real issue (for me), is the matter of span/vs weight sufficient that 13.5m span is enough?

Thanks
