Default SSA as sub chapter of AOPA

Oh, you mean hang gliders, no!? Oh, those sperm thingys. That has been the conversation I have had with 98% of the power pilots. I fly power too but, mainly I fly, and I would rather not have an engine up front.

Always blows me away there is 0 coverage about soaring in mainstream aviation publishing except for, "get your glider add-on, it'll make you a better pilot" when as we all know at the root of all this aviation stuff is gliding/soaring. Thing is, there's little money in it and few to none who're willing to spend money to advertise. So the mainstream press and their organizations (AOPA) won't touch it.
