Just make sure that there isn't a Cu in that part of the sky

Hard to avoid when flying a glider...


True. But not on a trial flight...


Depends on what you think a glider trial flight should look like. Mine
usually last, passenger stomac permitting, about two hours to
demonstrate what glider flying is really about. (And, passenger stomac
permitting, they usually end with a loop and a turn or two, to
demonstrate the meaning of 3-dimensional. Most passengers like it.)
