The Decline of Soaring Awards
At the club I fly at, once all the launching is done, the tow-pilot goes home, unfortunately.
That is unfortunate. I'm not sure how to teach cross country without first making retrieves no big deal. Having money to buy a nicer 2-seater, you would still have to stay local to the airport. Having no money, but an on-call list of willing tow pilots, you could fly with what you have. Maybe getting young involved as tow pilots? |

So, in order to save the sport, get more more young people flying, and make it more accessible to people other than retired old men who are sitting on a nest egg large enough afford a new JS3 or Arcus M, what can we do? How can we make it more affordable? Buy a 1-26. Jim Beckman |
