I had a near miss with a glider while descending through cloud OCAS in a piston twin!
Close enough to see him flash past in solid cloud so very close!
There was a long thread on my incident so I do not want to start that up again but it does seem double standards that a beautifully built and kitted out home built cannot cloud fly while a minimally equipped glider with an untrained instrument pilot can legally do so!
On top of that they are allowed privalages with airspace which we are not!
On the other hand we are so restricted in aviation that we do not need more restrictions added to our gliding fraternity.
Freedom of flight springs to mind powered or unpowered!Sadly the freedom bit is getting less and less
