I'd say anyone can afford the above prices.


I agree, these prices are very correct. Now my point is that, even in the
cheapest clubs in France, even when absolutely everyone works for free,
prices are closer to the double of what you mention. So i would like to
understand ... I would like also to understand why a lot of people from Nordic
countries, Germany and England come flying in France or in Spain when they can
fly for half the price staying at home (and as far as i know prices in Spain
and Italy are *not* cheaper than in France). When a convincing explanation is
given for these discrepancies, then perhaps i can agree that the prices of
gliders are not killing the sport. At present i still consider that a glider
which is sold the price of a house is purely and simply a scandal, and a
complete waste of money except for the very rich ones.
