Flying a micro glider - joy of soaring!

In this micro adventure, we'll go on an exciting flight in one of the smallest sailplanes, a Russia AC-4B, in eastern Massachusetts around Sterling MA. Let's assemble the glider, launch, and ride the thermals (a 2 and a 1/2 hour flight condensed into the 17 minute video). I'll also cover the merits and benefits of a joining a soaring club, especially for families looking for a rewarding hobby that's perfect for bonding with teenage children, building team and leadership skills, as well as confidence.
