Gliding as a hobby, am W14?
I've been thinking about taking up gliding. My grandma lives in a town with an airfield, about a half-hour drive from home. My parents would pay for it and probably even take me there. My grandma said there are several young people in the club, so that's not a problem. Since you can start at…

Considering that each flight costs around CHF 85-100 per day for training (usually two to four), I think that's a lot. I'll start working in August and will…
