I know some pilots who would be good at it. Just connect it to their rudder
pedals!

A question to you fine soaring fraternity, what would your response be to
someone who suggested that it might be feasable to run a transponder in a
glider with a pedal generator?

Hmmm...I wonder how big solar panels would need to be to generate
the needed power. The wings have a lot of area...

They make some very thin panels, but incorporating them into the
body might be quite tricky.

How about one on the dash, or right above the pilot's
bald spot? Could give some shade too!
