Not a PG Weekend?

So today is perfect for surfing the web.

Tomorrow looks perfect for windsurfing the bay.

Ah vell.

The sailplane club at Front Royal is gearing up for an epic ridge soaring day - visiting pilots trailering their gliders from elsewhere, maybe operate two tow planes, opening early. I have heard "1000 kilometers" mentioned as a goal. I have the duty, will be hooking up gliders all day. - Hugh

Should have said "tomorrow". - Hugh

Maybe I should start saving up for one of those sailplanes instead of a new wing...

That's the deal with the club - we have four club gliders (two are two-seaters, mostly for instruction and giving rides) - this will keep you busy for the first few years. You can also join a syndicate in a high-performance (50:1) glider for say $10k... I think the hang-gliders may be operating tomorrow also. If you can get a launchable cycle, then base wind up to 20 is doable in a higher-performance HG. It's kinda like having a bag of golf clubs - you pull out the one that will work in a particular situation... - Hugh
