Hi Gary,
You Wrote:
You seem to be saying that conditions are so bad at your home
airfield – Bacchus Marsh - that (most times), you fully expect to
be in a paddock if you attempt a X/C flight in a K13 from your airfield.
?????????? That's exactly what I'm saying. And please also bear in mind that I
said a flight within gliding range is not an introduction to x-country but at
best a thermalling exercise. Please also realise that this is written by
somebody who at this point in time flies more x-country out of BM than anybody
else and is an active coach. You also wrote:There has been some suggestions
that a good trailer is almost essential for road retrieves. What a load of
rot!My answer to your post was mainly an attempt to voice my opposition to your
disdain for good trailers. To further demonstrate allow me a quote from the US
gliding forum on discussion what glider to buy:"Get the best trailer you can
afford and take whatever glider is in it".A little extreme but he got a point.
Best Regards - Rolf Rgds - Rolf
