I've been a fan of sailplanes since watching John Denver's TV specials back in the 70s. Usually I try to be more technically accurate, but I'm not sure how many people know what a sailplane is. It raises an interesting question - why are they called hang "gliders," when they're also capable of thermal soaring? Maybe it's because the earliest ones didn't have that capability. So, do you happen to have a sailplane or fly one?
