There are two soaring related articles in the July issue of EAA "Sport
Aviation". Good to see this type of press in a widely read aviation
magazine.

The first article (by Jim Busha of Austin MN) was about the all metal
light sport Zenos which has a 45 foot (13.7m) wings. 24:1 glider
ratio. Kit cost $20K (without the engine I assume).

Not intended to be a spelling cop, since I have trouble spelling, but it is
spelled "Xenos" not "Zenos." That helps in finding their web site:

Also note that they estimate total cost with an engine to be ~US$32k with
an AeroVee engine or ~US$44k with a Jab 3300:
