talked to find out I'm an A&P and want me to maintain their aircraft,
something I'm not willing to do. Are clubs the only way to fly gliders?
I kind of just want to do my lesson and go home, and not worry about
"working" at the airfield.


Obviously it's a matter of taste, but I might turn the question around:
Is it worth learning to fly Cessnas?

I can't imagine anything that isn't worth learning to fly! It is just a
matter of available time and money. I even think balloons would be fun.
