The Sport Pilot program offers little advantage as we do not need medical

Sport pilot may not help, but sport aircraft should.
This is where the real benefit to gliding lies. Certifying
a kit as a sport aircraft looks like it would be
beneficial compared to experimental.

Details abound, but at a minimum, one might avoid the
limitations (in some cases for some operators severe)
of an experimental.

Sport pilot seems quite useful for transition pilots
(from another cat/class),
and essentially useless for anyone else...
