Why Soaring?  Imagine if you can floating along with nature, no annoying engine, just you and your thoughts, watching, planning, and calculating what to do next. I got the bug in the early sixties, watching a Disney story about soaring. When I was able to pursue soaring, nothing was available close enough to make it worth the travel time and distance. I did some powered flight instead. I enjoyed flying a great deal, but I still had the urge to do the " glider " thing. I finally got my first flight early in the 90's and I loved it, I soon started flying with a soaring club outside of Savannah Georgia. As my luck would have it, I got transferred too far enough away to make it feasible. So, my new plan is to take a few weeks and fly till I pass my private checkride, one shot of soaring. I got a set of plans for a great little fun ship that I am starting to build,a "Woodstock", a Jim Maupin design, but I have hopes to eventually own a higher performance sailplane, probably one of R Schreder's designs. One step at a time. Pictures will be posted as the plans come to fruition
