Default Fast and Cheap Glider add on?
Anyone know of a good, fast, and reasonable priced school for a Commercial Glider add on? Preferably in the NE, but I could go anywhere. Thanks.

Not sure about fast but try your local civil air partol. I know the one I was in in PA has a glider set up.

I was in the CAP for awhile as a Cadet, but I quit because my local one sucked.

I searched the web for CAP and gliders, but cannot find any info on it other than some places have it and some don't. They don't say where. The local CAP is small and I'm sure they don't have one, but I look more. Any one know of a PA or NE PA CAP glider outfit?

I have flown a lot of gliders from a lot of different places, but this has been the best in my experience.

How does one tow gliders with a Commercial SEL? Have to get the glider endorsement?

Check the SSA website, I believe it's ssa.org.
They have a list of all the glider schools in the U.S both commercial and
clubs.
