That is a lot of questions to for a single post. So I'll start out here
with the basic LSA definitions.

The 120 kt Vne limit requirement is the disqualifying factor for most
gliders. The flight altitude limit of 10,000 msl is the tall pole in the
tent for pilots who fly "out West."

As for insurance, there doesn't seem to be a problem getting insurance for
powered LSA so I don't see why it would be a problem for gliders.

The FAA prescribes who and what training is required. Here is a list of
people who should be able to answer most of the training and endorsement
questions.

I've just had a second light sport pilot airplane, ask me about
getting the endorsement for light sport pilot glider.

What's the deal here?

Has anybody actually done this? Are there any glider instructors out
there who would do this sign off...any instructors who would do the
check ride?

Any commercial operators who whould rent gliders to a LSA glider
pilot?

How about insurance?

Do gliders even qualify as LSA?

Any clubs which allow members to fly on light sport pilot glider
certificate??
