Thank you for posting ! The appeal of a SLG (Self Launching Glider) increases the safety factor of not having to land out because even if you're not getting lift you can at least push the glider back up to an altitude to find some.
I love these videos! I have decided this is what I want to do. I am restricted on my time- seems all I do is make the hamster wheel spin_ for now. I am buying rental houses. I want to get my powered pilot's license however I think becoming a glider pilot would be fun and relatively inexpensive and there would be considerable carry over to when I start powered flight training someday. Keep these great videos coming! Very best regards, JA
There are gliding clubs all over the world, who usually welcome new would-be pilots. If you're in the US, look up the Soaring Society of America to find your nearest club. I've flown for 40 years: best fun you can have.

I enjoy your videos Mr Dawson. I wish I lived closer to you, I would surely take you up on your offer to come learn to fly gliders. Happy flying

Thanks for the positive feedback
Thank for the vid,
the commentary is nice and clear easy to listen to
How do you feel - PW-5 is a good glider for beginners? Thank you for sharing this video and your comments. Good luck!
Why NOT USE Kts as opposed th MPH.... The sectional charts are much easier to use without trying to scramble my brain.... KNOTS is where it's at...!
is this what you fly on your 1st solo ..it look beautiful
That was pretty cool.. I see them all of the time , just not from that view ..😎👍
Nice video!
Thanks Roy!
Cool video - how do you get the flight log displayed as overlay on the video?
Ouch, $21/hr. Ours is free to all club members. Only $65 a month and you can use ANY ship :)
cabdolla Hi is it in New York? Because I want to fly one for my 11th birthday
Its not free if you pay $65 per month.....
is that the oudie 4?
Oudie-2

Good information. Thanks. Have to say, could do without the background musical soundtrack, which is distracting to the point of annoying.
--Great video but Really is to important to be using that background music.
