Composite machines are super good in the performance region but not in the cost and 'easy repair' scheme of things, and as the ATC are a winch launch operation the machines have to be suitably stressed for multiple launches and should have 'classic' handling qualities.
Grobs, K21s and the like all are all quite suitable for this sort of use.
