If I lived in a part of the country that had mountains close by, or even some big hills, I would think about getting one of these foot launched gliders or maybe a hang glider. A few guys at my local airport bought a used glider last year and started a club that I was tempted to join so my kids and I could get our glider license’s. I came close to putting my money down but help off when the club decided to go with a cable launch system instead of using a tow plane. Just going up to one thousand feet and flying around the airport didn’t interest me so I saved my money. It turns out I made the right move because they crashed it on the third flight, minor damage, then found out this year that it has a twenty five year maximum life span and it was , you guessed it, twenty five years old. The glider’s junk and I still have my money, that almost never happens.
