Our own Mr. Durden has published a wonderful tale in the new AOPA Pilot mag about the experience of watching his daughter, Amelia, solo a glider on her 14th birthday. Speaking of gliders. I was wondering how much it costs compared to renting say a 172. I am guessing that with out the big money eating hunk of aluminum the propeller is attached to, a glider would be significantly less money to fly? In flat land (Oklahoma, no slope soaring) how long can you keep it up on a nice hot sunny summer day?
