I have to agree with neomatrix. I got my single engine land certification in 1985. I thought I would like to get a glider cert next, but tow fees were so expensive in my region that it was cheaper to move on to an instrument rating.

Kann ich nur bestätigen! Dieses mit einem *Segelflugzeug* mit sehr hoher Geschwindigkeit in sehr niedriger Höhe über Grund durch die Luft zu brettern, dürfte das geilste und intensivste sein, was ein Mensch legal auf der Erde erleben kann! Alles andere ist Kindergeburtstag. :) Auch sollte der Klang des Variometers genannt werden. Obwohl ich schon ewig seit über 25 Jahren nicht mehr geflogen bin, zaubert mir der Klang der schnellen hohen Pieptöne in den Videos hier im Bruchteil einer Sekunde immer ein sehr breites Lächeln aufs Gesicht. Dieses Pieptöne sind die schönste Musik. Sollte eigentlich mal mit einem eigenem Video gewürdigt werden ;)

If you don’t have a regular plane with a motor to tow you, can you still fly these? Are these pretty easy to land!? Are they safer than landing regular planes, or do lots of people also die in glider accidents? How much is one of these aircraft?

You can make spectacular videos with ultra cool music but an outsider will never understand the joy of feeling a thermal, wait for the core and have it centered in the first turn while pulling a bit of G and converting your speed in altitude. Feeling the air and being in full control at the same time. How do you share that with someone who only knows flying in an airline?

I don’t get why the pilots make constant joy stick waggling movements in apparently straight and level flight…I mean they must know EVERY tiny deflection of a control surface creates parasitic drag and brings the aircraft down sooner, so why not just keep the stick still until you need to change pitch or bank?
