1. I had a guy walk up to me at the glider field and say, "I just put $300 worth of fuel in my C-182". "What does it
cost to be a glider pilot?" (A whole lot less, I told him)

2. I bought an old motorcycle that can replace 75% of my driving. It gets 55 MPG city driving.

3. I'm strongly advocating winch launch for gliders. ($5 launch = 5 hour flight)

Obviously, gliders aren't an option if you need A to B transportation. But, if you just fly for fun, gliders are a
lot of fun for a lot less money.

5 hour glider flight off a $5 winch launch? Where are you and how long is the winch line?
