I would like to see 20 meters in the next motor glider to get the
wingloading down.

The Antares has 20 meters, but I don't know if it has a lower wing
loading; on the other hand, the Apis, Taurus, and Silent are 15 meters,
and they do have a lighter wing loading. I'm assuming you don't want to
go to the 25 meter span gliders to achieve that light wing loading...

How low did you think was needed? Are you flying in weak weather?
