Wouldn't it be nice to collectively (amongst all the soaring clubs in
the country) to develop a soaring curriculum aimed at passing the FAA
glider rating writtens (much like King Schools do now for FAA airplane/
helicopter ratings)? We could assign topics to different clubs and
post them to you tube or other video sites. If interested, post to
this usenet.


You may be re-inventing the wheel with this. Bob Wander teamed up
with Sporty's to create a DVD entitled "So you want to Fly Gliders".
It is only 39.95 and it is also available for download. Here is a
link to the video:

P.S. I have no relation with Sporty's..
