Default First Sailplane Event Success

Hi,

Well today was the day to shine for sailplanes at our field. I have invited another club that flys sailplanes exclusivly to join my club for a day or soaring. The day was great, weather was mostly good. only one mishap involving a supra not mine but that sound i wont forget anytime soon... otherwise things were great. check out the pics!

A person at my field has a glider and a lift plane, and he wants me to fly the glider while flies the lift plane. I'm looking forward to flying the glider!

I did one tow with my scale glider today to show off, are you towing or cradle launching, youve been warned, its very addicting once you core a good thermal and watch your plane go also out of sight with no motor.
