To give you another rare treasure Club of Amway, Edinburgh University Gliding Club (EUGC). Gliding here is not what you think of as paragliding, but flying a glider!

The EUGC is also part of the Edinburgh Sports Union. The EUGC is one of the top university gliding clubs in the UK and can even compete in national flying competitions if you keep learning. What's more, after joining the EUGC, you can also learn to fly at a discount, similar to the price of equestrian lessons!

The University of Edinburgh has a large fleet of aircraft, and the cost is also very reasonable. The annual membership fee of 85 pounds +trial flight, and the average of each subsequent flight is about 30 pounds, depending on the duration of flight, no experience is required. The instructors are strictly certified by the British Glider Association and volunteer for free to teach purely for the love of flying, which can save a lot of money!

I am a person who likes weightlessness very much, and any roller coaster ride can be as simple as a Daisy (but Buddy's Hollywood tower hotel does have some feeling, highly recommend playing last, I entered the park to play this first project so that I did not feel all the projects later)

I joined the Gliding club during the freshmen week, I queued up for a long time (yes, this club is very random), and I finally made it before returning home.

To the "airport", will be taken to a small room to listen to 5.6 minutes of principle and how to operate on the plane, simple to the extreme explanation, at that time I thought really can be so casual?

The captain was a beautiful sister, and at that time I thought that one day I would become a person like her, flying a plane under the blue sky and white clouds. The glider is my first step and hopefully I can get my spl this year and then I can start my ppl.

And then we go to the warehouse and we push the plane out, which is really heavy so it's a good part of me not helping. They'll show us how to escape and how to control the joystick before we take off.

Because gliders don't have engines, we take off with a car that pulls our plane up into the sky like a kite, and when we reach a certain height the rope breaks and we can fly.

The lift-off of a fixed-wing unpowered glider depends on the ejection or towing aircraft, and the stay depends on the pilot's control of the reaction force of the rising hot air. Flying through the clouds and overlooking the Scottish Highlands is something else.

During the flight, the captain's sister has been encouraging me to control the plane independently, because I have not yet mastered the degree of the rocker, and several times it is a very large drop (I thought to myself, I'd better not hurt anyone on the plane and there is another person). But after the operation more skilled much more.

That's it, very exciting, later have time to try skydiving!!
