Gotta' have one of those!
I'm relatively new to aviation. *I took my first soaring lesson in
2001, bought my first (probably last) glider in 2003. *At the time I
was amazed at the fact that I only had to register it ONCE. *I can't
seem to get too worked up about the registration issue. If they
charged $150.00 every three years, it would still be less than I pay
for my cheapest motor vehicle, (about $70.00 / year) and I don't have
to pay to have it smogged.

It's a small thing... in a larger context.

Maybe to you, but not to some of us. And read the complete document
from the FAA. It indicates (at least to me) that you can expect $45
per plane per three year period to start off. Again, it may seem
trivial to some, but not to all of us.
