Net cost: $1750 - $1800 - 420= $500 cheaper to fly a SLS!

I was thinking that you can prove anything with statistics,
but justifying a sailplane would be a serious challenge.
This guy is good !

Seriously, I doubt anyone is going to purchase an
Antares to "save money". More likely because:
- its an unbelievably good sailplane, raising the bar in
comfort, handling, and performance,
- the propulsion system is more powerful and reliable
than other alternatives, especially at high density
altitudes, and
- only one lever to operate the propulsion system

Obviously I'm biased !
