Yes it is...we have at least two others in our club...
Somebody's gotta make sure the radios work and the mics arent
scratchy.

And BTW, I'm also G0POH Look it up if you wish.

So what's G0HVS...Go High and Very Slow? Go High Very Soon? How
about Go High Very Smoothly? Good call for a glider pilot!

Anywhere near East Anglia? I make it to Suffolk/Norfolk about every
18 mos or so...

That's how I got started... model sailplanes. The more I looked on the Web
for model info, the more interesting pictures and videos I saw about
"full-scale" gliders. Oh yeah, people really DO fly those things. Maybe
people like me...

My wife is sorry she ever bought me the model...
