Bingo.

Over here, one of the few glider flights I had made me feel bad in the stomach,
which is rather unusual for me. But we were doing really tight turns, and I
probably looked too much at the ground.


Don't feel bad about it, you share this experience with a lot of first
timers and even with some power pilots.



Well, yeah, I *am* a power pilot... VFR only, though.
