Hmm, I just read my previous post and realized I typed "Fox" (the
two-seater) when I meant "Swift" (the single-seat S-1). Oldsheimers, I
guess - too early to be Gin and Tonic induced...

But to answer the question, I'm sure it would be fun, but I wasn't
flying the Swift often enough to feel really comfortable doing it - and
in Arizona I didn't have to take high tows (easy to thermal up to acro
height) so didn't get far enough away from the glider's owner to feel
good about it either!

At risk of topic-creep, how does the Fox compare to the Swift (flying
wise; I know what it looks like)?
