You know, this is something I've been thinking of doing after I finish my training in sailplanes.
The beauty of being able to take off from anywhere, freedom to fly whenever, etc. It's like having your personal helicopter without having to spend a fortune on one. Only thing that concerns me (from an ignorant point of view of course) is stalling the wing - they look flimsy because I'm comparing it to my aluminum wings lol.
But man, I could go to work, then head out back home while admiring the view. You just can't do that with a fixed wing.
You gained a new follower.
Thanks for coming along and yes indeed, the privilege of being able to leave the planet is nothing short of awesome & life changing. I'm also a fixed wing pilot and I had the same feelings regarding flying under fabric. However, as we know, looks can be deceiving and they are quite stable. A PPG or PG pilot just needs to be WX savvy to ensure that it stays that way. Glad to have ya!
Thank you!
