Thanks to all for the replies, I greatly appreciate it.

Looking at my logs, maybe it's not as bad as I thought...actually closer to 60 glider hours is what I've bagged. "under 100" was true, but not totally accurate.

Frank, I do fly Condor, have flown it with you in fact! You may remember at KAQO I responded to your query about making it a more effective training platform by suggesting a 12 or 24 volt electric fence controller wired to an appropriate part of the pilots body to make the stress of bad decision-making in Condor equal to that in RL! ;-))

I do appreciate all the input, maybe a little offsite dual to get me spooled up and build confidence would be in order; self-confidence, decision-making and stress management are what I know are my weak areas at this stage of my soaring experience.

Sure would be great though, to learn it in my own aircraft, with my own nav system and in conditions like we have here, not in a soaring Mecca like Minden...
