Default Washington Examiner Editorial on "Glider Safety"

I don't mind editorials but the writer should get his facts
straight.

As I see it the issue on implementation is not the weight. It is the
additional cost (unit, wiring, antenna, etc) and the effect on our
limited battery capacity.

Also, "The glider exemption was a simple oversight in the first
place." HUH??

Let's point him in the direction of LSA. Or maybe automobile crashes
where there are certainly many orders of magnitude more near misses,
crashes and fatalities.
