Absolutely. The market will work for gliding as it does with most

young men from deceased estates for trivial prices (a perfectly good
PIK-20B for $12000, for example). Cost isn't/won't be the problem.
Real prices will go on falling as the number of available gliders grows
at a faster rate than the number of buyers.


Corollary when the sport will be almost dying.

Prior to its rebirth in a different form - which almost none of the
existing participants will foresee - and certainly won't like.

But it will still be soaring.
