Cool beans!! I took my first soaring lesson last December and I paid to
have my daughter go up with another instructor. My daugther was only
nine, but she had enough time with me flying my Corben (powered, sorry!)
that she had no difficulty with the Schweitzer except not being able to
reach the rudder pedals. I hope she takes up soaring in earnest in a
few years. Hopefully I'll have my add-on by then and will own some 2
place glider...

By the way Kenna (15) went solo this year and instead of asking for the
car keys, she's asking for the keys to the PW6!!. She is already
planning to spend half of next summer in a tent on the airfield at
Invermere. I am sure Roger will follow in no time but he needs 2 more
years before he turns 14 plus one to go solo. However, he flew 10 hours
this year in just four flights including a wave flight to 15,000'. All I
do for him is the take off & landing and have a good yak with him in
between. He has the touch, now he just needs the years and some theory.

Nice to read about younger follow-ons, eh?
