Always enjoy your vids, very informative for a wannabe IFR pilot.

Thanks Nate! *My return trip will be forthcoming.

Let me guess, cost is a factor in you being a "wannabee"?

Cost, and time. I'm PP-ASEL and sailplane. I'm also a PhD student in
addition to having a full time job. If I weren't in school I could
swing it, but as is I will just have to peck away at it. I get a
little hood time here and there.

Yes, should have mentioned time :-) *Painfully slow training at least
for me.

Do you have any videos of your sailplane experiences? *You don't see
to many of those from the inside.

For the last two years I have done ride-alongs with some of the
resident experts during a sailplane competition. I will try to post
one of those to you. Otherwise, no. Soaring effectively is a thinking
man's game, and I don't have the spare capacity to shoot video AND
stay in lift.
