OK, I think I'll buy a lottery ticket.


However...while super ships are neat, what we really need is 400 affordable 2-seat trainers.


Something like this?http://windward-performance.com/twin...nce-sailplane/


That's a pretty neat looking two-seater, but at the price points
Windward has typically been working to, I rather doubt it will fall
within the bounds of "affordable." Also, it has a lot of features that
make it somewhat inappropriate for the ab-initio audience that Bill
needs trainers for.

Here's what I would propose for an affordable two-seat trainer:

More info available as the situation develops.
