Default My first flight in a glider... finally!

Congratulations on your first glider ride!

If you don't have it already, get a copy of Condor
(www.condorsoaring.com) and learn to fly with it. Since you have
rudder pedals, turn off the auto-coordination, and you'll get a very
realistic soaring simulator.

Regards,

Frank (TA)



When I arrived home I installed a set of rudder pedals on my simulator
and practiced winch launches, coordinated turns, and landings all
night long.

I've also planned out a budget so I can start my flying lessons. *I
guess that means I am hooked.

I posted some pictures hehttp://www.floridakiteboarder.com/soaring/1/
