Be ready for the worst!

Since the glider has no recording tach or Hobbs it's been a habit of mine
for decades to keep the log in the glider where I can keep it current after
each flight.

My glider is registered Experimental and the Operations Limitations state that
the log book must be kept in the aircraft.

I specifically asked the FAA whether I had to log immediately after every
flight or could just update periodically. He said periodically was fine.
Consequentely, my partner and I only update the logbook once a year at annual
inspection.

My operating limitations state: "This aircraft shall contain the
placards, markings, flight manual, etc., developed for this aircraft."

I recklessly fly without the flight manual in the glider! Has anyone
been busted for doing this? If you carry it, have you EVER referred to
it in flight? Is the German version acceptable, even if I can't read
German? I imagine a pilot nearing Vne in a steepening spiral, thumbing
through the pages, looking for G loadings with/without spoilers open...

I DO carry all the "etc." with me, because they are important.

Anyone remember the scenes in Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying
machines with the German officer who can do anything?

BTW, it is just out on DVD.

Yeah, I have been watching for the TMMiTFM DVD for quite a while. So,
when I saw it was available a couple of weeks ago, I ordered it.
Received it last week and already took a look. I was disappointed to
notice just one mention of Derek Piggot in the additional photos and
information. Other additional info is really interesting none the
less. Anyone interested in the movie should also try to get the book -
I found one at abebooks.com.

All the best,
Steve
