list includes gliders with all-glass fuselage which is bit confusing.

Just calling BS, for the last time.

Photos #1 and #10 show the glass part of the turtle deck.

You were claiming no glider fuselages have this, having used GPS antennas mounted under the turtleneck in several otherwise carbon fiber glider fuselages I know you are wrong about that.

Here is a game for the upcoming SSA convention... folks there can ask or look to check if the turtledecks in all the gliders on display are RF transparent or not.

Oh the anticipation for the advancement of human (well r.a.s.) knowledge is killing me.... :-)

'27 and '28 lamination schemes show no carbon in a portion of the turtle deck area. Low loads and it is easy to shape carbon layer during lamination. My ELT antennas are in this area for that reason.

Actually, the ELT antennas are the reason why there is a glass part in the turtle deck. Otherwise you would have to put these antennas somewhere else, and you would need a cable to connect the antenna to the ELT. And that would be real stupid.
