When the founder of the company I work for was in HS he a and buddy home built a glider. He says it flew great. They flew it for about a year. His buddy had a fatal crash in it and he said that was the last interest he had in flying. He never said if it was due to pilot error or not. He did say his Mom had a lot to do with his decision.

He told me about it when I was getting into hang gliding. It was after I had discovered 1 in 20 hang glider enthusiast died gliding and had already decided to look for another hobby.
