Both items were on the "bucket list". Very much enjoyed it. Different, and I did not have the usual non-positive adrenaline that I have had in the small planes that I've been in while contemplating learning to be a pilot. Kinda funny, but it was quite relaxing and most enjoyable. Sorry the flight ended in such a, subjectively, short time.

You will learn much about airmanship in them. Yep, gliders are an excellent place to start. You will learn much about airmanship in them.

Also Warner Springs with wind is NOT a good choice.Try a calmer day with thermals at Hemet. When I transitioned to power my instructor said I made the best landings for a newbie he'd ever seen, never a go around. I told him, "Where I come from that's a given."
