After an instructing session with a student pilot on a weeks course, and
if the pilot is not progressing as much as one would expect with them
getting bogged down in getting their circuits and landings up to
scratch, I take them up for a passenger flight at my expense.
I give them some chandelles and steep turns in thermals and always
ending with a steep approach and ground effect just to get some fun back
into their flying and to show them how versatile the Blanik is.

I agree, as when I was a recently soloed pilot in the early 1980's, and just
about to give the sport up for many of the reasons discussed, Baylee
Roberts offered me a seat in his Twin Astir to come with him on a out and
return 300k Murray Bridge/Pinaroo which he completed. But for that flight
I doubt I would still be interested in the sport.
Mal's other Do's are good stuff.
He also said:
"Most ex glider people just want to fly they can not stand the gliding
politics..."
I also cannot stand the gliding politics/administration which is why I fly
under CASA with a club not affiliated with the GFA.
Costs me in other ways, but it is worth it.
