Has Flyspeck ever said what kind of airplane he owns?

It\'s motor glider, with a retractable propellor.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schleicher_ASH_31
A big investment. I saw prices around $240,000. Flyspeck may own a
small share.
Not as dangerous to the rest of the world as a more conventional
light aircraft.
His partners better pay close attention when he\'s monkeying around
with it.
Enough fuel capacity to be dangerous if he crashed it into a
build-up area and the fuel caught alight. Battery power would be
safer, if not all that safe.
That is just for the bare airframe; you also have to add instruments,
options, trailer, ground handling equipment, and shipment from
Germany, which will push the price to well above $300k. I am the sole
owner free and clear.

$300k? More proof that you are the most stupid person in this group.
And THEN you have to assemble it and THEN you have to pack it with

But Gnatguy can\'t be bothered to post a link to a source of correct numbers. If he did we\'d probably find out that he\'d misunderstood the data he thought that he\'d found.
Be aware that even a production run of 100 is pretty high in the glider community - it is NOT a high run consumer product.
And the gliding community isn\'t all that large. With people like Gnatguy in it one can understand why.

BTW, \"small\" means tens of thousands of glider pilots in the US,
most of whom belong to clubs and don\'t personally own a glider.
Interesting the recent launch of a secret object into space may
have something to do with this...

Flying gliders IS a high-risk activity - I will not deny that. You
spend A LOT of your flight time in a classic stall-spin regime: high
bank angle at near stall speed. And the air around you can be quite
turbulent, which can lead to a sudden tail gust that stalls you. At
altitude, this is a non-event, but close to the terrain, it is
deadly. A good friend of mine, highly experienced with thousands of
hours in all types of aircraft, commercial and military, was killed
in this manner.

It was not a \"production run\" you fucking retard. That is the entire
number they have ever made. If it was a production line item, meny
more would have been produced, idiot. They are likely crafted one or
two at a time. The number reflects popularity in the realm. It is not
that high, and not so for the reason you tried to give.

A tail gust doesn\'t stall the wing. That\'s like the \'downwind turn\'
myth. Nor does the nebulous \"near stall speed\". Bank angle doesn\'t do it
either.
Have you ever been in a spin, maybe in a C150 during training?
I imagine the glider is not approved for intentional spins, but it must
spin r-e-a-l-l-y slowly if it happens. Is there enough rudder to stop
it? Are you the test pilot?

A tail gust certainly CAN and sometimes DOES stall a glider. Being flown close to stall speed to being with, a tail gust effectively reduces the airspeed to below the stall speed. Really, this involves the critical angle of attack, which is over the head of the readers of this newsgroup, so I won\'t discuss it.
The bank angle is critical because the inside (down) wing is flying slower than the outside (up) wing, and stalls first. With the outside wing still generating lift that is no longer balanced by the inside wing, the aircraft rotates \"over the top\" and enters a spin. The rotation rate is relatively slow, but the glider rapidly accelerates being a low drag aircraft to begin with. You only have seconds to recover from the spin before the Vne (never exceed speed) is reached. Beyond this the wings will separate from the aircraft. The ONLY control surface available to you to stop this is the rudder, which must be applied counter to the direction of rotation. Once the spin is arrested you are STILL falling straight down and must CAREFULLY pull out of the dive being careful not to overstress the wings (or they will fold up like a book). Spins have been successfully recovered from in innumerable situations, but not always:
