"I'm trying to put together a dictionary of sorts for terms we use in our
sport..."
Here are some terms I have discovered in my novice year of
glider guiding.
"Dork Landing" : An event occuring in *close* proximity to the Earth or
other fixed objects. Usually involving multiple portions of the glider
moving in widely divergent directions.
"Winch" : High Speed glider disassembly device. See also : Full pedal Launch
; Lawn Dart.
"Spot Landing" : All the pieces stayed within 1 acre.
"Landing Area" : Earth.
"Full House Sailplane" : Selling the furniture to make room for that new 1/3
scale ASW 27. See also : Divorce.
