Default Soaring Simulator Training and Competiton

Excellent use of technology.
There was an article a year or so ago in S+G about soloing a student
in an AS-K21 with something unbelievable, perhaps four flights. This
was a after he had trained in a simulator, built around the front
fuselage of a two seat glider procured from a wreck. I believe Condor
was the software.
The student can be allowed to see what happens in bad situations
such as getting on the back side of the ridge or low on final.
The "animated white board" as Bill put it.
