@cabdolla i do fly gliders, im a meber of a club, im talking about general aviation though and even so i dont realy know if in america if $65 dollers is alot of money gliding is still expensive!!!

@cprich22 Gliders are a part of general aviation. $65 dollars a flight is not bad if you figure about 40 for a tow, and a glider at $15/hr gives you a 1.6 hr flight. In a Cessna 172, a 1.6 hour flight with an instructor used to cost me about $270. You gotta pay to play, no way around that.
