Mike, can you please expound on that remark?

My understanding is that the US has typically accounted for about 15%
of the world market in sailplanes and soaring-related merchandise. Do
I misapprehend the size of the US soaring market, or do you include
powered aircraft in your 10x estimate?

Thanks, Bob K.
