cherry's first gliding solo - k21 kent gliding club
this summer i won a bursary from the air league to do some gliding - here i am let loose on my own for my first solo flight! this was at kent gliding club challock and it was a winch launch - i feel very pleased to finally get my first solo out the way! gliding is a great affordable way to get into flying and airlines like glider pilots as they are very good at landings and in emergency engine failure situations!

The BBC arranged for a local resident to experience a Gilder flight, as he had watched the Gliders from his garden for many years. CFI Glyn Richards asked me to fly the Capstan, whilst he was on Tug and film crew duties.

GLIDER : AEROSOFT DISCUS B
TOW AIRCRAFT : MAULE M-7
WINCH LAUNCH : WINCH X
Do not think that gliders are boring and silent machines. The Discus is capable of speeds, altitudes, range and aerobatics that make most GA aircraft envious. Of course you can choose to make flights of many hours but you can also find some ridge lift and play around for a while. The Aerosoft Discus is a high end simulation of a high end glider.
The Discus is a Standard Class glider created by Schempp-Hirth. It was produced in Germany between 1984 and 1995 and around 850 aircraft are still flying. It is still produced in the Czech Republic in low numbers. With its distinctive swept back leading edge it was rather revolutionary when it was produced and it totally dominated the standard class sailplane racing throughout the 1980s and won the 1985, 1987 and 1989 World Gliding Championships.
Though it is no longer a top contender for the prices (the progress in gliders in the last 10 years is nothing short of amazing), it is still a high performance glider with a 42 to 1 glide ratio. The good natured flight characteristics made it a perfect club glider for the experienced gliders. The later models (though many are retrofitted) had winglets that made the performance and handling better. In Europe it is one of the most prolific gliders and it is very typical of gliders that the thousands of enthusiasts fly every weekend.
The Aerosoft Discus has been create with help from Schempp-Hirth and without a doubt it is the first true high end glider add-on for FS. From the flight models that are near perfect (do note we never used these words for any product before) to the C4 Flight Computer that is the heart of the instruments it is all so accurate that we feel 100% confident to provide the customer with the `real` manuals, of course with permission of the copyright owners. There are ten models included but they can be divided into three base models. We got four B models that are pure gliders, four BT models that got a small engine that allows the pilot to cruise between thermals and two BM models that allow the pilot to take off on its own power. All ten models got different flight models. As FSX does not allow any motorized aircraft to be air towed we even include the very realistic WinchX! add-on that simulates a which launch down to the smallest details. This is a very complete project that will give you all options modern glider pilots got.

Gliding in Kent | from Into the Blue Gift Vouchers
Gliding in Kent has a very long and proud history, believed to be the first gliding club to be formed in England on the 4th January 1930. Founder member Jimmy Lowe-Wilde went on to gain the first gliding certificate given out by gliding's governing body, the British Gliding Association and he even went on to build the first glider to be approved by the BGA.

Rating based on my bike
Ratings explained
1 = Beginner.
2 = Rides byways a couple of times a year in the dry.
3 = Rides almost every week in dry and wet.
4 = Knobblies only, good rider.
5 = Expert, small bikes full knobblies.
My setup is a Tiger 800xc with MT21 Frt and a Karoo3 Rear.
No music on this one as people seem to
want to hear the engine
