What To Wear
Wear comfortable clothing appropriate for weather conditions. It is approximately 10 degrees cooler in the air during flight..
Is it safe?
Yes! All the flights are flown by FAA Certified Commercial pilots. It is also extremely safe because the sailplane carries no fuel or a heavy engine, and is designed to land slowly in a unimproved field.
What is the minimum age to fly?
Participants must be at least 14 years old.
What is the best time to fly?
Earliest flights between 11:00 AM- 3:00 PM are the smoothest. During the heat of the day there are more unstable winds which means it is probably better soaring, but bumpier!
