Dan -

This is not about "ways to finagle glider ownership".

It's about this being another barrier to entry in a sport that has too many already. It's about a ridiculous situation that doesn't exist for almost any other type of recreational vehicle. There is NO REASON why a person should be forced into any of these "alternate solutions", just to try to accomplish what any Joe-Schmoe can already do with a car, airplane, motorcycle, boat, or RV.
