Thanks so much! I'm more than happy to stick around and help. I hate that you have to have surgery. I hope it goes well, and your recovery time is quick!

I won't get to fly all season now
but luckily a guy owes me a whole lot of money, and when he pays me back I can join a diferent soaring club as soon as I recover and get many lessons a week and solo as soon as possible so I can get my pilots rating next year I hope

biplanes are awesome
but nothing can compare to gliders! thats pure flight
1st off.. you only have 1 shot at landings so your always the safest pilot there is
2nd having no engine you have to read the clouds the ground the terrain the weather for sources of lift to keep you up.. normaly if you release at 3k feet your down in 20 minutes and max distance is maybe 20 miles..if you can extend hat to 6 hours and 250 miles or even 500 and at speeds above 120 knos your not just gliding but soaring.
wait heres a few vids
this is our club..38 years ago we opened the doors to disabled soaring just last week a paraplegic won the day at the glider world championships.
glider aerobatics, theres nothing more graceful, yet high intensity
wave soaring, downwind of mountain ranges when conditions are right there are standing waves that go clear to the stratosphere. you can go straight up higher then any power plane can fly (if you have a space suite) but the perlan 2 space glider is a pressurized glider designed to reach the edge of space using just mountain waves
mountain ridge soaring this is the most beautiful high adrenaline and exciting way to soar, your using a strong wind being pushed up over the mountain, the closer you fly to the ridge the stronger the lift, and the faster you have to fly.. this is how you can ly 800 to 1000 miles at top speeds and break records.
plus its pure awe inspiring to be so deep into remote unforgiving nearly untouched terrain.
pure epicness glider pilots often giggle or even break down into tears, or exclaim wow this is amazing oer and over again
glider racing your every split second decision maters it can mean the diference between winning and landing in a field in disgrace. your ability to read the atmosphere and use it to your advantage is all important
and the most insane aerobatics ever.. g forces that crush the air out of your lungs invered flat spins.. normaly you use 2 fingers on the stick and move it just millimeters in these high g mauevers it takes 2 hands and all your might
and finaly the sailplane grand prix.. fast, wild, very close quarters using just earth energy

They're looking fucking awesome Bazooka!
I haven't been on much the last few weeks because I literally haven't been able to. Keep getting error messages and what not so just haven't even bothered trying for the last week or so.
I think I'm at 5 weeks today so will post up some photos later hopefully.
