>>I was somewhat surprised
to find that the motorglider wing design has an L/D of only 24:1.<<

It's a compromise, as usual. The biggest problem is persuading the existing tail
feathers to work with the long wing, as I understand it. 
I have seen turbulator tape on the underside of the wing, at about 85% chord.
Helps to get rid of a laminar separation bubble. Be interesting to see if taping
the ailerons etc will have a measurable effect on Europa, won't it?
