Title: My Other Motor on Weekends
Post by: The Gonz on March 25, 2017, 21:37:02

Today is the the third of three days I've been working around (and flying) this weekend motor, purchased by Air Force to provide cadets with air experience flights and glider pilot training.

I've only been up in a glider once but it was fabulous..   When the tow line was dropped the sudden stomach churning few seconds of descent  :scared: :scared: :scared:

 :lol:

What can be better than a glider that can take off on its own, then is ideal for 'engine failure' flying? :victory:
