Commercial, indeed. $60/hr for the CFI and $35 for a 1500ft winch launch in YOUR OWN GLIDER? Holy smokes...

Maybe these prices are not affordable for you, but they seem reasonable for a commercial operation that wants to break even in the long run.

Most clubs charge too little. If they had charged slightly higher rates for the last 30 years, they would now have the money in the bank to buy a new glass two-seater to replace their venerable 2-33.
