This glider already exists; here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ru0deQRIS8c High-deflection flaps, 14m wingspan, 20:1 L/D, 0.6 m/s sink. It could well be faster x-country than a 1-26. Not going to match a PW5 though. Stuff weight shift control for a joke though. |

About $55 for a 2,000' tow.
Last time I did winch launch in the US it was $5 per snap. This was with a club.
