Hello Tom,

After reading your comment about two hands versus one, I had a good conversation with my 14-year old student, today. We talked about adversity and how to handle it. So, from your comment we found a silver lining. That lining included how to handle adversity and also how to handle the flight control. It was all good.

You'll be pleased to know that we worked on that today. He found that the lighter grip (not the death grip) helped dampen turbulence. So I must say to you, thank you for mentioning it.

The other discussion we had was on handling adversity. My lesson to him was something that my instructor father taught me. He said, "Do not fear the winds of adversity. After all, an aircraft climbs against the wind."



Now, back to the cool video.

Raul,

Seems to me you are more than just a good glider instructor, the life lessons imparted and role model relationship with your student are priceless.
