Gliding again?
Hello to all you nice people out there on Pprune. I am seeking advice and tips from the experienced and knowledgeable amongst you on the vast subject of gliding. To narrow it down somewhat, let me explain.....
Many many years ago, (when there were numerous black sheds in Farnborough) I used to go gliding and loved it, but family and finance meant that had to stop. Now retired I have booked some lessons to try and recapture (one of) the joys of my youth. What I knew I have no doubt forgotten, so I will be starting from scratch.
Do you reckon I am kidding myself or do I have some hope of actually going solo? What does that entail as regards theory, exams, medical etc. Are there any books you might recommend?
I would be most grateful for any comments.
