Stephen,
Well, as far as I know there is very little news.....That being said, if you want the latest info, you may want to contact the US dealer, Tim McAllister directly. Unfortunately, there has been no news on his website since March 24, so it seems there is not much to report. There is also little breaking news on the GP Gliders Facebook page. Tim's website is below and hopefully, there will be some positive news soon...(I do hope!)

Hi Renny,
Thanks. I watch those links too. And was wondering if there was other activity that just wasn't posted. Something I'm watching during the coming months.

There is some info about the GP 15 -- including 3-view drawings and prices -- at the links at the bottom of http://www.gpgliders.com/jeta-line.

They almost were able to compete last year in the Worlds 13.5 class but now, one year after the event, I have not seen reports of a glider flying. Still their specs and test results with the spar are very interesting.

Is there any way to view the facebook page without having an account (I
refuse) and without having a large portion of the screen demanding that
I login or sign up? There's no option to do neither that I can see.

Please look at the following link for my latest blogpost including new details and pictures from the factory. http://www.gpglidersusa.com/blog/201...t-is-happening

Work is progressing at a slow but steady pace. The latest hold-up as reported to me just a few days ago is they are waiting on the correct battery connectors for the propulsion system. With an innovation project like this, it always seems to be something. However, company cash-flow is good and the company remains committed 100+% to the project's cxompletion AND commercial success. When the GP 14 flies, we are confident that it WILL bring the latest aerodynamics and performance to the 13.5 meter space. There is nothing "legacy" about this project!
