New MOAs proposed near Marine Corp base and Mt Patterson
It's ever so much more comfortable to roll and pull rather than to push
over and dangle in the straps.Â* But you need a pretty decent roll rate
to avoid clogging the pitot tube with dirt.

I have no proof of the above, just kind of makes sense.
It's ALWAYS good to comment on new airspace proposals.
My last glider flight was over 90% inside 3 MOAs. This is quite normal.
It's fun flying in MOAs. Once engaged an F-16, with him off my nose hit the PTT: "guns, guns, guns, I just shot down a fighter" and had the F-16 pilot reply he was reaching for the eject handle.
An A-6 pilot managed to sneak up on me in the Champ, came from the left wing blind spot and roared accross in front of me. All I could think was "YOU *******!".
Learned too, that F-111s roll inverted and pull to go over a ridgeline.
Fortunately we have Joshua Approach, which does a very good job with traffic awareness. Monitoring their freqs, you hear aircraft being informed about gliders "maneuvering". We must look to them as if we're drunk and can't hold a heading or speed.
Still have no desire to install ADS-B.
