Just wanted to shed some light on the current technology of HG's. I
agree that sailplane clubs should be aware of the local HG and PG
clubs, make friends with them and be sure to educate them low cost of
sail plane flying.

IMVHO, most of the competitive HG pilots I know about that have
embraced sailplanes are flying the stink out of them and are
outstanding XC pilots.

That's been my observation, also. My belief is anyone that flies a HG
actively for several hundred hours has the determination, skills, and
judgment to do well and fly safely in sailplane. And it doesn't take
long for them to learn which way to move the stick, either.
