Default Youth in soaring, and anything



Our kids pay $15 to 2000 ft and the 1-26 is free. Their other flying,
such as training, is about 1/2 of regular member. essentially they pay
variable costs for their flying and the regular membership, plus some
income from introductory flights, covers absorption of fixed costs.
Alas, our airport is not suitable for winching.

Hank,
your club is a shining example for supporting youth in soaring. Caesar
Creek is another one. Neither one is winching for various reasons -
and yes, Harris Hill is a bit short for that. The one thing both clubs
have in common is their size and members dedicated to taking on the
job of training. Hats off to both clubs!
