Gliders at Oskosh

There's Mark Zivley's powerpoint presentation at:

I agree with Bill about a SeeYou 3D presentation.

performance soaring
that I know of. http://sailplane-racing.org/

Then, I'd consider using a SeeYou 3D animation of a
spectacular flight from
the OLC. I've done that and you can almost hear the
thuds of jaws hitting
the floor. SeeYou + OLC is a VERY effective selling
tool with a huge WOW!
factor. The audience really 'gets' it when they see
the 3D animation.

I have been ask to give a soaring presentation at the
February meeting of
the local EAA chapter. Do any of you have a 'PowerPoint'
presentation
that
you are willing to share? (No need to re-invent the
wheel.) If so, I
will
gladly accept them as an email attachment.

I am told that the choice of the Sparrowhawk was dictated by the
available space.
But I do not think it is a good selection for the EAA crowd. It is
simply not represenative of what people will find at their local
gliderport.
I displayed my kit built Apis 13 in 2003 and attracted a lot of
attention but no orders. Never even got a mention in the magazine.
The EAA folks are more turned on by selflaunch than pure gliders, which
they see as needing too much supporting equiptment and personel.

One thing I do not like about the proposed exhibit is that non SSA
Chapter clubs will not be mentioned. There are a lot of them and many
are more convenient than SSA affileated clubs. But the SSA is chiping
in some of the money so I guess they get their way.

Basically the SSA is in the business of promoting the SSA, not soaring
per se - though that can result in soaring also being promoted. I
thought the organizers solicited donations from many sources - perhaps
if a non-SSA-affiliated club donated they also get on the list.
