As is usually the case, the discussion here has side-tracked well away from the
point...
I couldn't agree more - if we want to turn students into keen cc pilots, we
need to take them on an xc flight early in the their training, before they're
bored to death with circuits.
It doesn't need to be a top class 2 seater or 500 klm. The point is to give
them a taste of xc & keep them interested.
We should be doing this as part of the training regime.
Cheers,
Greg

decent trailer in the event of said two seated landing out would provide a lot

Or a lighter glider which did not need a small army of helpers to get
it back to the club. And a decent GPS which would find its way back to
the club without getting lost.
The end product of this is that the student pilot on board ends up
paying more for beer and munga than for the tow and tuition! No wonder
paragliders are so popular.
