Glider pilots try to keep the plane co-ordinated at all times, but with large wings and ailerons on the planes, adverse yaw is a factor to be reckoned with. Glider pilots are forced to use the rudder pedals all the time to get the most from their plane. Of course, the most important instrument for all pilots remains on our body, the eyeball. If you would like to read more about gliders, visit the SAC Supplies page, there are many titles to choose from. In Canada almost all training takes place at gliding clubs.
Instruction is usually free of charge, a student only pays for launches and rental of the glider.
However, belonging to a club means paying a membership fee. Included in this fee is usually your SAC dues, which provides the pilot with third party liability insurance lest they land on something, or someone, and cause damage. Also, SAC provides a high quality magazine which is published once every two months and mailed to all members. Clubs vary in size and structure, but everyone goes to the gliding club for the same reason, to fly. After taking an introductory flight you may decide to pursue your lessons in earnest.
