Regulations do not mandate gliders carry transponders, such as FLARM or ADS-B, and many do not. Cessnas are, unfortunately, much less maneuverable than gliders, which make sharp turns and sudden pull-ups in taking advantage of developing weather conditions to maintain altitudes. Unfortunately, gliders are hard to see.
