$300k?  More proof that you are the most stupid person in this group.

  And THEN you have to assemble it and THEN you have to pack it with 
instruments and wire them up.  Wow...   does not get much more stupid.
Far better things to spend your money on and you will never get it 
back.

I found FOUR accident reports for them. One of them a mere wheel-up
landing, another had the pilot bail out.

Another was a fatality when the ridge-soaring pilot hit a ridge. The
maggot probably just thermals over flatlands.

People who are into high performance gliders would find it difficult to find a better thing to spend their money on.

Gnatguy does now seem to be deep into senile decline, but his choice of motor glider isn't unreasonable. I've never been all that interested but one of my wife's graduate students lost her fiance to a crash in an international soaring competition, so I'm aware that there are people around who do take it seriously.

Even that can kill you. One of my wife's graduate students lost her fiance to a crash in an international soaring competition in Poland (which is pretty flat).

Sorry, DecayedBrainMatter, but your numbers are way off. Be aware that even a production run of 100 is pretty high in the glider community - it is NOT a high run consumer product.

But Gnatguy can't be bothered to post a link to a source of correct numbers. If he did we'd probably find out that he'd misunderstood the data he thought that he'd found.

And the gliding community isn't all that large. With people like Gnatguy in it one can understand why.

Flying gliders IS a high-risk activity - I will not deny that. You spend A LOT of your flight time in a classic stall-spin regime: high bank angle at near stall speed. And the air around you can be quite turbulent, which can lead to a sudden tail gust that stalls you. At altitude, this is a non-event, but close to the terrain, it is deadly. A good friend of mine, highly experienced with thousands of hours in all types of aircraft, commercial and military, was killed in this manner.

HA HA HA HA! Bozo should LOOK IN THE MIRROR when it comes to identifying repulsive people. Bozo spends ALL of his waking time glued to his computer screen waiting to pounce on anyone who disagrees with him.

BTW, "small" means tens of thousands of glider pilots in the US, most of whom belong to clubs and don't personally own a glider.

Interesting the recent launch of a secret object into space may have something to do with this...

Bye,
  Skybuck.

It was not a "production run" you fucking retard.  That is the entire 
number they have ever made.  If it was a production line item, meny 
more would have been produced, idiot.  They are likely crafted one or 
two at a time. The number reflects popularity in the realm.  It is not 
that high, and not so for the reason you tried to give.
