FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH,I WAS PRETTY MUCH IN THE SAME SITUATION AS YOUR SELF.I HAVE GLOW EXPERIENCE AND STILL FLY GLOW BUT WAS CLULESS ON HI-STARTS AND GLIDERS.TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT YESTERDAY WITH MY BRAND NEW SIG RISER AND HANGER-9 HI-START(200ULTD)I LAID THE THE LINE ON THE GROUND WALKED BACK THE RECOMMENED DISTANCE.AND THREW THE GLIDER OUT MAKING SURE IT WAS ALREADY AT FLYING SPEED(SO SHE DOESN'T STALL)IT WAS GRACEFULL AND PEACEFULL(A LITTLE CORNY BUT TRUE)MY POINT IS IF YOU KNOW HOW TO FLY JUST GET OUT THERE AND DO IT.YOU WILL LOVE IT.
