2018 - AN EXCITING YEAR
I confess I don't really understand this supposed problem with a slippery glider that "builds up speed quickly". The problem comes when teaching students. The more difficult (slipperier) the glider to fly, the longer it takes to get a student solo. As someone else mentioned previously, This uses instructor resources that could be better spent teaching other people to fly. It also takes up glider resources and students have to wait longer between flights. Eventually, the "slow" student gets frustrated at not yet being solo after 50 flights and quits the sport. Some of the students that have been waiting in line for the "slow" students to get it also get frustrated with the low number of flights they can achieve in a day and they quit too. So the slow student can cause not only one lost member, but more. The problem is not that you can't teach someone to fly in a Duo or 1000, it is a question of resources available and the impact on the overall progress of all students in the club. |
