I have no doubt that either the TG-3 or the S1-26 2m wing kit from DAW, combined with a built up fuselage would do. . Another option you could possibly have is the Great Planes Spectra - which is a nice plane in every respect. In short, I think you need more servos to make a powered plane that is at home both on the slope and while thermalling - one is used up working the throttle! Actually, if you forfeit some thermalling capacity, I think the two-servo version of the DAW S1-26 HLG would be close to ideal. It will be at home on the slope, as it will be fast, due to the extra weight, but also at home in a thermal, no doubt! Have a friend that's been flying a Gentle Lady with a OS 15 glow in the nose for many years. Flies just fine, even if it has never been sloped - maybe a bit slow for that?
