Medium performance these days is a sailplane with 35-1 L/D at 50
knots.

For $1500.00 and 200 hours of build time?

I would buy one - if there was a safe and thoroughly tested proof of
concept - BUT it will never happen.

Not a hang glider nor foot launched. Please don't laugh. This is entirely
practical in my shop. What I'm asking is, is there a need and a market for
this. I do not plan to manufacture this plane but I would sell plans.
Thanks
