I hope my daughter takes an interest (she's two now). It sure is great to
see families enjoying the flying, the working and the cameraderie of the
gliderport.

She's two and she isn't ready to solo yet? ;P

When my daughter was 6 months old, I could hardly keep her from
grabbing the stick! She was pulling back so hard
I though she really wanted to try spins, but I told her she'd
need to be at least seven months old before we tried that.

I have to say for youth price can be a little bit of a problem
too. I've been thinking about how to reduce the cost of flying for youth.
Gliders is a good first step, but the launch seems a bit pricey.
I've GOT to try this auto-tow launch business. Now THAT
seems like a good way to get youth involved...at a low price...



P.S. Too bad I won't be able to teach my daughter after Oct. 20th
unless she has a Government Photo ID and verification of citizenship.
I need this to verify she was really the little girl I saw
there when my wife was giving birth... ;P
