A question to you fine soaring fraternity, what would your response be to
someone who suggested that it might be feasable to run a transponder in a
glider with a pedal generator?

That's a brilliant idea.

Here's an even better one: power the transponder with a little
hamster running in a wheel connected to a generator.

Why not equip the glider with a second hamster to power a boundary
layer suction device, or perhaps an external propeller?
