E-LSA Glider Teaches Japanese Middle School Kids to Fly

December 22, 2010 — An organization in Japan uses a PW-2 GAPA E-LSA to expose young kids to aviation. The Noda Sky Sports Council’s mission is to use sports and games to help kids who long for the sky to realize their dream of flight. One activity is to attach a GAPA glider to a bungee, which gives each child an approximately 100-yard flight. The council produced a video, entirely in Japanese, that shows a novel way to give children flight time with very little training and risk.
