a REAL hoot in a glider!

No need - everywhere where I've done any flying with a glider instructor
in a Blanik, spins have been on the agenda. They are fun. If I need to
lose height in the club's Blanik becacuse my time's run out, spinning is
the most fun way to do it. (Our club encourages pilots to remain
familiar with spins when flying solo, it's an occupational hazard when
soaring in the rather weak conditions we have here, trying to core very
tight and scratchy thermals)
