Condor Cross-Country Training Available 9/28/11 - 2/23/12
For the second year, I am offering one-on-one cross-country mentoring
sessions using the Condor soaring simulator. As instructor I host a Condor server on my PC here in Columbus, Ohio, and the student joins it from wherever they are - all they need is a good internet connection (i..e DSL or better). A regular telephone connection is used as an 'open mike' intercom for conversation. I started this on an experimental basis last year, and it seemed to work very well. Comments from students/mentees was uniformly positive. This year I am charging $25/hour with all proceeds going to the U.S. Soaring Team fund. I have no interest in making money at this, but I have found that charging a reasonable fee tends to make everything work a bit better, and besides, the U.S Soaring Team needs all the help it can get ;-). I will host 3hr blocks on Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 7-10pm U.S. East coast time, starting on Wednesday September 28, 2011 and running through Thursday February 23, 2012. You can sign up for a block by going to a free calendar/appointment package I have set up at http://condorxc.calendarspots.com. If you have questions or would like additional information, please contact me at paynterf[at]gmail.com. Experienced cross-country racers with an interest in mentoring less experienced pilots are encouraged to contact me - I will be happy to help you get up to speed in Condor and start your own Condor cross-country racing 'camp'. Flying in Condor over the winter months certainly beats looking out the window and waiting for spring! Frank |
