Given the past doom and gloom on the list:... *Gliding is dangerous. *Aerotowing is dangerous (especially behind an motorglider) *Winch launching is dangerous. *Gliding isn't very green yet... *Training is poor... *Active membership numbers are falling. *Pilots are getting older. *Pilots are getting heavier (refer recent OD about max weights). *Need to wear beige and a terry towel hat out in public.
Might seem that the new sim is the go (good on ya Ian, 'bout time someone gave a gliding motion sim a go!). *Might be safer. *You can crash and not die. *No nasty aerotow or winch. *May have less of a carbon footprint if it ran off a solar charged battery. *You can self teach, hey who needs an instructor... *Don't need to be a member of anything. *No one to young or old. *Just makes sure the seat is strong enough to take the heavier ones. *Can wear beige and a terry towel hat in the safety of your home. I say bring it on!!! Ps. Can it spin? ;-) _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list Aus-soaring@lists.internode.on.net To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
