Just remember - the USAF Academy mission with their Soar-for-All
program is NOT to teach SOARING or even Gliding - but basic
airmanship. They learn stalls and falls, basic pattern work and air
"sense" so extreme acro or high L/D wings are not a real necessary
factor.

They also want gliders that are FAA certified in the standard and
utility categories with a 16 KT crosswing capability. Hoping for
delivery in about a year.
