Seeing as this thread was directed partly at me asking my thoughts on flying I want to add to this comment I made.
Flying sail planes is hands down one of the best type of flying I have ever done.
For pure pleasure I think Gyroplanes are number one for me, followed by Sail Planes, followed by helicopters, followed by aerobatic airplanes, followed by amphibious airplanes, followed by light to medium fixed wing airplanes....
....and last would be heavy aircraft that are flown by the paint by numbers method of SOP's and all those other acronyms.
There that is my slant on flying devices.
