Don't get me wrong. Maintaining and repairing gliders on the G-reg does generate paper, but less than the MAA apparently does, and there is no requirement to cut extra holes outside any mandated by the maker for various checks, and so on. The gliders would also have a sensible life, not 2,700 launches which someone mentioned above.
However I found myself wondering this morning if the paperwork to prove how many launches / hours each glider has exists.
