Tip: Understand what you're talking about before offering advice :-)
To elaborate, what I was talking about was the WAIT. You have two sailplanes wanting to fly, and one towplane. Obviously, one has to wait 10-15 minutes or so for the towplane to take the other to release point & return. If both are self-launching & electric, the second can depart as soon as the first has cleared the runway, plus you don't have to pay for that expensive towplane at all.
