Your glider will be hooked up to a tug aircraft and towed to 2000 feet, far better than short winch launch experiences. Watch as the tug pulls you and your instructor way up into the blue. At 2000 feet the instructor will pull the release handle and you are then gliding for real.
Your instructor will demonstrate the controls before you take control and search around the skies for the odd thermal to keep you up longer. Floating through the skies in virtual silence, gliding is the ultimate in relaxed flying. Soon it will be time to join back at the airfield by floating down for a landing
