before everyone goes.... WTF? and I am not talking about the Jag
I have flown one of those.. powered gliders.
Powered gliders? Starting point before you go and do lessons in a normal/proper glider (of which I have had 6)
No tug to pull you up with the birds, your instructor takes you up to 8,000ft ...and turns the engine off.
Turns to you and says... your aircraft sir.
and you spend the next few hours watching birds ..yes I am serious as they are expert at catching thermal updrafts.
oh and other gliders of course!
