Flying a Sailplane
Experience ID: 6
Glide through the sky in a beautifully ergonomically designed machine enjoying the fabulous scenic views on offer. The simplicity and grace of this experience will captivate even the most seasoned adventurers. For first timers some of the maneuvers and coordination may seem a little difficult but super exciting. After some basic ground instructions by an expert flyer you will be making the sailplane do what you want it to do. You'll learn that a sailplane can be easily managed and is a very responsive machine that answers to gentle and coordinated pressures on its controls. Choose a place and come learn to fly and maneuver the sailplane. Your practice flight is very gentle and you may glide down to enter a safe and beautiful landing zone at a predetermined altitude. You might also have the opportunity to land your craft with its wings level, and stop with all safety precautions.
