Once again - This has already been tested. ATC radars do not have
any trouble detecting gliders of any kind as primary targets IF THEY
ARE NOT FILTERED OUT. When reflectors were added, no difference was
noticed by ATC. And from personal experience in G-102s, LS-4s, and
LS-6s, I have never had any problem being picked up by a terminal
radar when I told them where I was.


Not all ATC radars are the same. ASR displays primary targets rather well,
ARSR not very well at all. Some enroute radar sites are just beacon
interrogators, no primary radar at all.
