Message: [QUOTE="Dangerkitty, post: 675620, member: 13526"] Bob Wander is a pretty famous name in the Soaring Community. I haven't seen the DVD but Bob is a regular contributor to the Soaring magazine put out by the SSA. You also might wanna go over to [url="http://www.eglider.org/"]www.eglider.org[/url] and checkout some of Tom Knauff's stuff. He has a complete transition kit from powered planes to gliders for $120. Tom Knauff is the foremost Glider Instructor in the US. The only problem with Tom is he sometimes comes off as being arrogant and a little full of himself. If you can get past that he has alot of good info that you will find useful. You also need to join the SSA. Go to [url="http://www.ssa.org/"]www.ssa.org[/url] and they can sign you up. Once more thing the DVD I was talking about is called "A FINE Week for Soaring" by Juan something or other. I don't know where I came up with Perfect week for Soaring. I will get the website address for you when I get back home. If that doesn't get you excited about soaring then nothing will. They have got some great ridge soaring going about 110 knots 20-60 feet off the ridge. Really really beautiful camer work. I also got a really good aerobatic glider video on my home computer. PM me your e-mail address and I can send it to you. It is super cool. BTW, which Gliderport are you going to be flying out of? [/QUOTE]
