What we need is a passionate engineer fresh out of college who can design this. Then take deposits of $5,000 into escrow to help fund the construction.

All you have to do is start with 1.

Go ahead, flame away you naysayers!!!

Why don't you do it? You seem to have a rather intense belief that it's possible and worthwhile so why not take all your liquid assets, borrow money, find an engineer and get a design worked up. The publicize the company, get some VC funding, get a facility to build it in, start raking in the deposits, get the prototype built, test fly, work out the bugs, get EASA (or equivalent) certification for the design and the manufacturing facility, train some production workers and start making gliders.

You've got the idea, you believe it will be profitable so get off your ass and and do it. What's stopping you?
