Default are wooden gliders worthwhile building ?

[flying wood]

yes the ride is sweet. the flex on the thermals is there just enough
to notice.


it's not just that (sweet). It's like *dancing* on the thermals (flown
Ka6 and Ka8).

I enjoy looking out the 20 foot long wing of my cherokee
and seeing that slight bend up. Then i pretend that I am flying the
eta. Then I land in a field somewhere. Time to stop daydreaming
during cross countries!


Yes. You won't get that far as in glass (in the same time). But it's
FUN. More fun per time, as far as I'm concerned.
