Default RE: A powered Thermal Glider as a first plane ?


ORIGINAL: ZERO-322

Ok let me ask this if a powered thermal glider has many advantages and not many disadvantages how come there are none listed as a good first plane for a beginner ?

just thought I would stir the pot a little , LOL
The only reason gliders aren't listed is that most beginners don't WANT to fly a glider. On the contrary, most of them want to start with a JET or WARBIRD or some other plane that is way too advanced.

We have enough of a problem convincing them that they need to start with a trainer!
