Default Why are so many Stemme S10-VT motorgliders for sale?

Just a guess, but I suspect the new Light Sport Aircraft category may
be responsible. It is my understanding that a Stemme has been the
refuge of power pilots who have lost their medical. They offer a very
respectable climb, cruise and range, and many are fitted out like a
power aircraft. The LSA offers an alternative without the hassle of
those long wings...

But that's only speculation ;-)

Take the wings and wheels motorglider listings. Usually I might see 1
for sale, today there are at least 4. http://wingsandwheels.com/want-ads10.htm

Are these people already upgrading to the Antares? ;-) I'm not
trolling, but rather am looking for actual information and opinions on
the S10-VT motorglider.

Thx in advance.

P.S. I would consult a dedicated Stemme owner/operator site, but the
Stemme Owners Group is closed to prospective owners, and the
simpletons actually redirect discussion to R.A.S. http://stemme.org/
sez "Please note that the list is not open to prospective Stemme
aircraft owners, and those interested in acquiring one ... are invited
to contact one of the Stemme sales agencies noted above or to consult
Internet resources such as the rec.aviation.soaring Usenet newsgroup."
