I'm putting together a business plan. Can anyone answer the following:

1. How many glider pilots are there in the US? In the world?

2. How many gliders are registered in the US?

3. How many new gliders came into the country in 2006? 2007? 2008?

4. How many of these were motorgliders?

5. How many of these were self-launching (as opposed to sustainer)?

Any help you can offer would be appreciated. Thanks.
