I am a college student and pilot (recent CFIG) with 230 hours in
gliders and 215 Hours in Power Planes (Towpilot) My dream is to fly
in my first contest (the region 7 May 28 thru June 3 in Albert Lea,
MN). I am checked
out in the following gliders: Duo Discus, LS-6, Discus CS, Grob 103,
Grob 102, and ASK-21 and flown most of them XC. I am a member of
Harris
Hill Soaring and the St. Louis Soaring Association. Unfortunately, I
do
not own my own glider nor do I have access to a glider to use for the
region 7 contest. I realize that this is an extraordinary and
somewhat unusual request; however, it is the only chance for me to
realize my dream. I am looking for someone to sponsor me with the use
of their glider for the week of the contest. I will of course pay all
other expenses. If there is anyone out there who has an appropriate
glider and who is willing to lend it to a young but very enthusiastic
pilot
who hopes to eventually become a regular contest pilot, please contact
me. I will be very grateful and appreciative of any help I received
toward the realization of my dream.
Thank you,
Nik Filippov
