There's a lot of truth in that. Serious glider aerobatics is insanely
expensive. If you look at the net aerobtics time, you can easily rent an
Extra 300 or even a Yak 52 for that money. Plus, in a power plane you
can repeat a figure over and over again without having to land and relaunch.


Not necessarily. If there is reliable lift around, you should be able
to repeat your figures all day long.
