Naresh,Would you please share with us:
- What are your total glider hours flown as PIC ?
- Total hours flown in gliders with L/D40.
- Actual hours flown in gliders with L/D40 this year.

You mentioned only having 4 log books and 1250 flights.

This is irrelevant. The organisers were aware of Naresh's
experience prior to the event and had agreed he could
fly the aircraft. They had allowed him to go to considerable
trouble, travel and expense for no reason. They owe
him an apology.

No 15 metre glider should be tricky to fly these days.
It simply would
not get a Certificate of Airworthiness.
Glider manufacturers should be falling over backwards
to show us how
safe and 'flyable' their products are. This Diana
story makes me
suspicious. What are the manufacturers trying to hide?
