Cross Country Sailplanes: In the Flatland

[Snip]

Std Jantar 2 sits tall on the gear and is pretty honest about 1/40,
better than the DG100/101. DG has a bit nicer handling with
parallelogram stick, but loses on performance. Very strong though.

Payload should be okay. Have you seen Adam's Jantar?

PIK-20B if you want a bit more performance and landing flaps. They
may be hard to rig after the temp exceeds 70F or so.

EDS with composite tank won't add much weight to either and will
lighten your wallet a bit.

Thanks for your thoughts, Frank! (I'm not quite understanding the "EDS
with composite tank" part of this though.)
