By having a motor glider (operated by another company) parked in front of
their hangar?

LOL, no, GM themselves makes it clear that they are the same company.
From http://www.sportys.com/press/bio.html
"Eastern Cincinnati Aviation (ECA), Sporty's closely affiliated fixed
base operator, was founded in 1988 to provide flight instruction, rental
aircraft, service and fuel sales for Clermont County/Sporty's Airport.
ECA also operates, maintains and manages all airport operations on
behalf of Clermont County. Avionics installation and repairs are also
available on the airport through a division of ECA, Cincinnati Avionics."

But, this is beside the point. Even if Sporty's has a financial interest
in ECA. Sporty's would not live or die, let alone notice, if the ECA
glider program folded. The same can not be said for Tom Knauff or Tim
Mara. Lastly, Smith & Wesson makes some *really* nice scissors but I
wouldn't exactly call them a scissors company.

Please support your glider companies.

peace,
