Unfortunately, there are too many clubs that tell their student memberships
the wood or metal are POS and that glass is the only way to go. I recall one time hearing a student with perhaps ten flights call a 1-26 a POS. Amazing to hear a club instructor mold the minds that way, but it happens. "Tony" wrote in message ups.com... They just have to get the fiberglass hotshot ships out of their dreamy eyes. This sport CAN be made cheap for young people entering if they will let it. This means flying a low performance glider, with a sectional and a compass, maybe a TE probe, and a barograph with landing witness documents. Ask me how I know. I doubt it...they will price themselves out of the market....I was and am a strong believer that the main reason behind young people not participating in our sport is simply the direct cost. Jacek |
