And Ice Hornet footage.

Lastly for the R/C inclined..

Awesome RC simulator, I am having hours of fun learning RC helicopter
flying.
Just getting inverted hovering dialed right now.
The look and feel of flying this is superb especialy on the 10ft
projection setup I have ;)

And last but not least last years winter favorite Condor simulator even
better after patch 9.
A must for any glider pilots winter survival kit.

Oh and I am still looking for a Salto in USA if anyone has one.

I was under the impression that the PW 5 / 2-33 debates had finally
been settled and that the last remaining defenders of those aircraft
had conceded.

Well, the 2-33 has just started (see WOW!), right on schedule, but
they're going to tease us about the PeeWee.

No sailplane is ugly as long as you fly it. It might not please your eye
when you see it from the outside, but if I have to decide between a
seat in a PW5 in reasonable weather and the chair behind my work desk I
will opt for the PW5, despite the fact that I enjoy work and know I have
to work sufficient hours to get the paycheck at the end of the month.

Of course the situation is different, if I have to select between a PW5
and my Ventus.
