Regardless, the amount of maintenance of a self-launcher is still much
more than an unpowered glider.


Really? What about retrieves? Doing club duty when a commercial
operation is not available? Waiting in line to launch?

I suspect that once you factor those things out, the non-flying time
invested in the self-launcher starts to look like a much better deal.
