No I wasn't. Unless you think that "the sun" and "gravity" are somehow the same power source. Don't feel bad about this. The misapprehensions run very deep, and a huge number of gliding instructors really don;t understand this stuff. Not that it matters, really, because you don't need to know aerodynamics to fly a glider! Ian
