13.5 class need a free glider

[Fabry]

Hello Condor Team
The introduction of the payware Mini LAK is an exception from previous Condor version introducing a New and IMHO very interesting competition class but without providing a suitable aircraft included in base Condor3 or Condor3XC packages.
This will make harder for Competition organizer to start contests knowing that not every Condor user have access to such class.
Personally I'm planning to purchase the Mini but I wish there was a wider competition community for this class, 2 gliders that comes to mind are:

Pw-5: low performance but pretty common and nice to fly.
Diana2 13.5: this can be a very close match to the Mini and Current Diana2 model can be re-used, but might be hard to find reliable performance data.

It’s on our mind

I would love to see the PW-5 again, I know it wasn't the most popular thing in Condor 1 but I rather enjoyed flying it a lot.

The GP14 Velo would be in a similar performance league. Not sure if enough data can be found to model the flying though..

Silent 2 electro might fit the bill too?

But as someone else suggested, instead of making a 13.5m class, I would personally prefer to see e2glide competitions; it doesnt solve problem of a "free" option, but its probably a lot less work, and it would make the most of having FES gliders in condor; right now FES is really good fun for 30 min offline until the novelty wears off; after that its really not much use as outlanding in condor is not the same hassle as IRL. But being able to use FES competitively (X kWh per flight) would quite literally be a game changer.

I would be really happy to have the PW5. I really enjoy flying this glider in real life.

Silent 2 Electro would nicely do
