Younger people are so so much more enthusastic...
5 days of Youth glide 2013 was good fun...
People wanted to beat each others times on the ridge, we had a new record set (womens 100km out and return), we had a land-out in a Janus, lots of circuits, lots of helpers to rig and de-rig gliders...a desire to get double tow ratings etc etc
All great stuff. And all this with fairly average gliding conditions...
Ideas...like running a youth contest alongside the multi-class nationals...a good use for PW5's...
It's hugely encouraging to sit in the back seat of a Duo while a 16 year old pre-solo pilot averages 166 kph on the 100km Speed Task.
So that's about it for me this season...only 70 hours...of which only 5 were at Tauranga.
Mile stones...sold a DiscusCS, brought a re-built Duo, and a part of a JS1.
