I might possibly be addressing this subject in the wrong way, or to the

would pay to have this plane at an airshow?

A better question is: Well Mr. Frey, how many people would it draw to
our airshow?

I've got a few friends that are bikers. I'm going to shop the idea
around with them. If bikers think the Epps is cool and would go to an
airshow to see it, then so would the rednecks, monster truck fans, 10
year old boys, etc. Usually, the bulk of an airshow audience is
composed of these types, which seems to also explain the overabundance
of big-iron warbirds and jet-trucks at most airshows.

I'm thinking the Epps would probably sound something like this, only
louder:

I think that even rednecks are gonna want to see the thing fly. Do
airshow organizers pay you to bring your glider? Do you fly your glider
in public? Would they pay you to display a non-flyable glider? I think
you are in a better position to answer your own questions than anyone else.
