It looks like tomorrow will be slightly too windy to fly, so we're holding a ground handling clinic. Local wind expert, Windy John, will be leading us through the various tricks for controlling the **&^%$$%^&* thing when it's strong.

We'll be dealing with refining standard launch and collapse techniques, how gliders vary and need alternate techniques and practice those techniques, such as use of front and rear risers, french style launch, cross wind lay-out, mushroom launch, back fly, cobra launch and anything else we can make up as we go along.

All pilots and coaches are welcome.

Meeting at Airworks for coffee at 0900 ish.

The regular evening session at the Glynde Drinking Men's Club.

This time we will have Dave Lewis, Steve Purdie and other seasoned navigators showing you how we do it. We'll discuss air charts, compasses, rulers and GPS useage. Both from an XC pilot and comp pilot viewpoint.

We intend to go through some flight planning exercises and hold a virtual task on the village green (weather permitting).

Please bring your flight deck with map, compass, GPS, altimeter, etc. A torch might be handy also. Don't worry if you haven't got everything, you can team up with someone who has. Please ensure you have read your gadget manuals in advance and can change data fields, enter waypoints, etc.

CU there, unless I get lost on the way,

Dave.
