How Much Does It Cost ?
Our training hill lessons, in which you learn to launch, fly and land a glider, consists of field instruction, followed by solo, fledgling flights off one of our training hills. Fly High supplies everything you need. The first lesson costs $150.00 for the day.
After your first day, additional instruction costs $25.00 per hour. Again, we provide everything.... and you show up, get a harness on... and fly under our instruction....
Tandem flights, offered by "Hangar 3" flight group, have varying prices. (see "How our lessons work" link... home page)
People progress at different rates, so no set time-frame is assigned to getting you to "first mountain solo" flights. Ballpark average is anywhere from 6 - 12 days. Your total cost of instruction will depend on how quickly you learn the skills, and how frequently you get out to fly.
Gliders range in price from around $1800 to $3500, depending on the sophistication of the design, and whether they are new or previously owned. Fly High always has a large inventory on in stock gliders and equipment, or can order you a custom glider if you choose.
Fly High maintains a storage facility near the training hill and mountain, to store gliders, if you choose to buy your own equipment, (and can't store it at your home.)
