Default Solo of a different kind...

Thanks for the feedback.

Probably will pursue the ASEL CFI first...I certainly have more
experience there (~300 hours) and barely feel adequate to teach
someone else...much less gliding!. I've been told I do a fine job of
teaching ignition and electrical sytems...but I've been playing with
electronics for 30 years.

Maybe another season of glider flyin before I try to teach it. Will
take a while to get the required 15 hours PIC anyway. I can always
help with ground training, though...especially if I go ahead and get
the ground instructor rating along with my CFI.

FYI, I'm in the Cleveland Ohio area, soaring at 67D, Reader-Botsford
airport in Wellington....about 45 mins SW of Cleveland

Hoping to get the 2nd and maybe 3rd solo out of the way if the wx
cooperates next week.
