I am new here. Is this about gliders that are towed by airplanes etc?

Btw, soaring is not about "gliders that are towed by airplanes". That
is just a method to get airborne. The actual soaring happens without
any engine.

Its talk like that that give any hobby or discipline a bad name. If you read my
post carefully you know what I meant. I was trying to differentiate from other
forms of non standard flight. I can't even say unpowered flight because I
understand some gliders are powered these days.

Ooops? That was clearly not my intention. Sorry if I gave room for any
misunderstandings.
