Default How to Buy a Glider Afordably, or Euro vs ContraFund


This reminds me of an instructor telling his sailplane racing student
not to pull up and turn in the thermals if they aren't at least a 10
knotter....just keep flying straight thru it . Another sailplane pilot
who doesn't have a coach turns into the thermal, and while not centered
perfectly he does get a good " return " for his efforts and at the end
of the race is even with the Pro coached pilot who kept flying straight
....

So ...which one of these pilots learned a valuable lesson ? And which
one of these lessons is more valuable ?



just my 2 cents.... oops.... correction

2 cents plus 17%
