I was looking at the FES manual, and I was curious what climb rates (in ft/min) people are getting in 18M gliders at the recommend sustained climbing power of 15-18kW?    Are you getting over 3,500ft of total climbing?  I have a JS3 on order with FES sustainer option (because I don't plan on competing at the national level I'm not too worried about losing 2 pts from the folded prop on the nose).
