I did say: "a well chosen World Class Glider".
Thanks for your thoughts Mike.
It further confirms my views as to the movement of the sport across the
economic spectrum.
I'm lucky though as I am able to participate in it's last affordable days.

Of course he flies compentently. He was trained by George Lee in a decent
two-seater, Nimbus 4DM. Fancy regressing to a Kookaburra. Oh, the shame of
it!

If a reasonable performance single seat glider, backed by a worldwide
comp system, was available at a good price, then I think the idea would
work. The design should also include a one man rig trailer and (if
possible) provision for self launching (as I to

For those of us who were young many years ago the story of a young female
glider pilot flying in a Kookaburra (Short) wing for the first time and the
instructor moved the trim lever only to receive a slap in the face from the
maiden who thought he was getting fresh.

Careful Roger,
Last time you bought into a discussion with him he stitched you right up, or
should I say added fuel to the fire.
The only advantage of flying in a Nimbus 4 (if we follow Rob's line) is that
the movements aren't quite so jerky! One could go longer but with most
males, time isn't t

Now Roger,
Don't be like that, the Kooka still has better performance than say a Janus CT
in two respects:
1. The glide performance is still better than a CT with the motor out, locked
and not turning.
2. The climb performance is still better than a CT WITH the motor out, locked
and turning a
The Visual Cognition Lab at the Beckman Institute at University of
Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) studies human response to visible
stimuli.
In my opinion, some of their work has direct applicability to
gliding look-out skills.
Here's an example: Visit

Beautiful, Mark! & scary. I'd love to see the training package that you
develop out of this. Hopefully you will figure a way to get it out to
interested clubs.
Cheers
