Yep I think thats a good observation. I always wanted to soar as a kid.
~ I got quite in to R/C gliders and still hold an interest. However when
it came to a point where I could afford to have a more expensive hobby,
I could not take the cost of soaring. Instead I went for paragliding.
I still get to soar, even if it's not as gracefully as in a real soaring
machine. Even if I brought a low cost glider, instead of a new car,
there are too many other costs involved, for the amount of time I would
get to fly.
