New Pilot Advice

thanks to all that posted I'm certainly not giving up. My fear you see
was an unexpected new reaction. I've ripped down a mountain on a
mountain bike, windsurfed in some foolish conditions, hiked through
some dangerous moutains in Colombia (people issues mostly) but this
glider business is new. That flight was my 11th flight in a glider. I
have been in airplanes since I was 6 months old, never had a problem
with them. But on the other had I have never been a pilot either. I
was very disappointed in my reaction. Those thermals were ripping. At
least that part was fun.


It's a total wilderness up there in a glider. And it's a wilderness
that you have almost no natural ability to navigate. A ripping day on
your 11th flight! Wholly Crap Man! It's not like other flying. Give
it a little time. You will rock.
