Yup, could be, so long as it's regarded favorably among
the youthful.
Maybe we can spin it as an extreme sport.

It is an extreme sport, at least in Kanada.
Gliding is defined as such by insurance companies.....
Up here gliding and flying are two different things.
And you get no coverage for gliding.
Tell the kids................ they will line up to try!


light motorgliders are now a big success............
over 300 sinuses sold, a new trend?

Among those with $75K of discretionary funds, definitely.

With $75K you'll get one wing only and no horizontal stab!
unless usd and eur will exchange at par.
But the Sinus flies so well with two wings that maybe
only one is sufficient..................
