Are there any performance figures anywhere? I looked around but could not find any.

40:1 glide ratio sounds nice, but a VNE of 200km/hr seems a bit limiting for anything but purely relaxed recreational flying.

With a max wing loading of 34 kg/m2, 200 kph will have you coming down at a rapid
rate, so it's not the limiting factor for flying fast.
