Only if it was growing faster than people bought new gliders.
Basically, wooden gliders rot away and plastic ones don't, so it's
inevitable that cheap old plastic gliders dominate the budget end of
the market. I find the comparison with sailing interesting: hardly
anyone makes entry-level 21 footers in the UK market, because there
are just so many second hand boats to choose from at the same price.
