I got to thinking about the safety responsibility issue, so I started
asking a few people. Got several of the above optipns, but the best
one was, "My husband, Jim",

There is one that you left off: the glider manufacturer. And not just
for the original production, but also for on-going airworthiness.

And I actually find myself depending upon the FAA since I installed a
transponder, although I trust the heavy iron TCAS somewhat more.
