Veeduber What would it take to convert a primary into a basic soaring machine (35+ to 1)? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear John, I don't know. But I DO know you're comparing apples to orangutans :-) The subject is Primary Gliders. Their poor glide ratio -- typically about 8:1 -- is by DESIGN. That is what's needed to fulfill their mission, which is to expose a fledgling pilot to 3- axis controls and introduce them to the mechanics of landing. You would probably find the syllabus used by early flight-training programs to be of considerable interest. -R.S.Hoover |
