Thank you, Rusty Sparrow! I'm afraid our American Cousins don't have very many nearby winch gliding clubs, clearly your winch experience was helpful when the Jodel engine failed. British power pilots, contact the British Gliding Association to find the winch launch club near you...you will be pleasantly surprised at the relatively low cost of this experience. And you will be a safer pilot, guaranteed.
And Sparrow, your point about looking outside...alas, most power pilots are more entranced by the array of instruments on the panel. I was very surprised flying a Warrior, when nearly meeting opposing traffic in the US. I saw him, he never saw me at all, and probably just as well, as I dived away just in time - before that I was talking to my passenger, and the other plane was hiding behind the doorpost. Surprise!
