What are you expecting it would do for you?

It won't "see" any Flarm equipped gliders/tow planes.
It won't reliably "see" any transponder equipped aircraft (unless *your* glider has ADS-B Out *and* you are in ADS-B ground station TIS-B coverage... which requires you be within ATC SSR coverage)
It will "see" 1090ES and UAT Out equipped aircraft... which effectively means no gliders and few GA aircraft today.

.... if you have a compatible display and you'll likely get a boat load of annoying traffic threat warnings in typical glider-glider scenarios, if other gliders are seen at all.
