Ever wondered how to fly faster and still complete the task? Practice!

Here is a nifty little simulator that enables you to practice tactical decision making while on task but doesn't require you to spend hours getting around a 300k. Try flying at different speeds between thermals, decide not to take a climb above a set altitude, set your thermal limit for the day and don't take anything less. Practice changing McCready settings and efficient final glides. Fly with and without water. Take note of the weather briefing.

This sim really does illustrate the stuff you have read about in the books but doesn't require a powerful computer or flight sticks or rudder pedals.. And its free. Give it a go.

Download the zip file krasnoff.zip here, extract to a folder on your computer and double click the krasnoff.html icon. It then runs in a browser window. This programme is distributed as freeware.

Help the club find new members
We all know that new members are the life blood of any organisation and no more so than the gliding movement. Help us recruit by downloading our new recruitment poster, printing it out on a colour printer and putting it on your office noticeboard, in the window of your local store, at school. And remeber there is a reward of £30 in your flying accounr for every new member you recruit. Just make sure that they mention your name when they sign up.

Land Out Poster
You know how concerned people can be when they find an empty aircraft in a field and call out the police to what they believe to be a crash. And you probably know what a waste of everyone's time, especially the police's, this is. Now you can download a simple A4 poster to print out and carry in the glider with you on cross country flights just in case. Just leave this poster in sight under the canopy.
