@ac690 I bought the orange and blue glider in the video used for about 1100. Gliders range in price depending on performance and hours. New will obviously cost more.
If you are a quick learner, you can pick it up in a few days to a week. Some people take longer to get the hang of it. The biggest factor is travel, time, and weather conditions. Normally, it will take a few months to a year to get your H2 unless you go to a big school (e.g., LMFP).
This guy was my first instructor back in late 90's early 2000. Lots of patience and wisdom and a knack for knowing where you are at in your learning process.
Chris, if you read this I am taking my H3 FINALLY after flying a lot of Colorado mountains. I took a while off but am back at full swing now. Sport 2 155 and loving it. Thanks for all the great instruction and weekends spent on the training hills and letting me stay at the cabin. Those were some good times!
Sure! I believe Chris is starting up instruction again in the fall. Until then, if you want to tag along with me, I try to go flying at least twice a month on the weekends if the winds are favorable.
How long does it take to learn and how much do they cost?
