Hey mike. About your Qns, sailplanes with SLS (self launch system) where the prop is stowed in the back of the cockpit is mainly for scales gliders like the ASW 27b or Duo discus. Props are at the back as this would allow the glider to ROG. The smallest scale glider that you can find with such a system is a 2.5m Duo Discus. However, this system is highly inefficient as the prop mechanisims and prop door causes alot of drag. And it is very heavy. People only use this system for gliders with a WS of 3.5 or 4m and above. Not less. Theis is too make full use of the motors power. I had a friend who put a hacker B50 in the SLS system on a ASW 27b 4.5m WS. He said its a waste of time. he took it out and it flew much better.

Just some stuff You would like to know.

Thanx!

quick question: how do you guys store such a huge plane !!!!

U mean traspoer wise or storage at hone? Well, its easier than you think. My wing (1st page) is a 3 part wing. When it is time to transport or store, the wing can be detached in to 3 parts. IF you wanna count the wingtips then it would be 5 parts. All these sectors including the fuselage are carried either in a box or a wing bag. Its just a bag specially made for carrying large sailplanes. Or you can use a golf bag.
At home, what i do is that is tha i either hang the bag vertically straight or if its in a box, lean it against a wall or put it flat.
As simple as that!

Thanx!
