What change there has been has come at the high
end, almost exclusively.

Sure, for the same reason people rob banks: "That's where the money is."

The problem may be that nobody in the US is building metal gliders that
commercial operations and clubs can leave tied down on the flight line
and run through a full season's schedule without babying. And by
"building" I mean "producing" for the market, not just showing at
conventions and on websites.

How many investors in new US production are here on r.a.s.? One? None?
