A friendly note:

Currently the glider-sail plane distinction is little known in the
general population.

Most RCers couldn't care less.

On the other hand the full-scale, big bucks, life-in-their-hands
soaring community will take very strong exception to calling a sail
plane a glider -- think the towed, one way only troop carriers used
in WWII.
