What aircraft did you do your silver distance qualifying
50k flight in?


Eon Olympia 2B Enstone to Nympsfield UK Arrived at 3000ft above the site and
flew a mile beyond it(sightseeing) The wind was blowing down the ridge and I
nearly didnt make it back. 1-24 glide angle + 8knts of sink + 10 knts of wind
ouch!

I did my 5 hrs in a K8 with no flap over the aerotow hook in the nose. I was so
cold at the end that I needed help to get out of the glider
