In an ideal world I'd learn to fly powered aircraft however I'm struggling to justify the sheer expense of not only gaining the licence but of funding the necessary hours each year to keep it current.
I guess that's where gliding comes into it as a compromise of sorts. If you don't mind me asking how much does it cost to own your own glider?
Portmoak do a learn to glide package at £250 which includes 3 months membership and £200 worth of gliding. If I do go for it I think I'd do that as oppose to a trial flight as they cost £85 so financially the learn to glide package would make more sense.
