Jonjon,

I'm so impressed by the 9m Ventus.
I also consider to mount a 54mm class turbine (about 5~6kg static thrust) to a 1:3.5 Discus or 1:3.75 ASW28.
I worry about the length of the runway & the drag cause by grass.
I'm a slope pilot not familiar with sailplane take of from runway either by it's own power or aerotow.
I also worry about the drag (air resistence, parasitic drag ect...) cause by the turbine.
Any comment on the above combination?

Best regards,
