My experience is dated and indirect.
We had a family friend who owned a sailplane, a Diamant. Not sure if it was 15 or 17m wingspan. It was actually assembled once in our backyard.
But my dad used to crew for him at El Mirage in regional and national contests. They were family trips. Those were spectacular experiences. My dad eventually got a license and I went up with him once in a Schweitzer, at Perris.
