Look at some of the links behind my signature line and the book
kind regards,

Thanks John, Book ordered along with others, in the vioce of Roy scheinder "we're gonna need a bigger bookshelf". also a wealth of info behind your sig, cheers! I won't be asking about anchors (my uneducated theory is the biggest and best you can fit). As for cat v mono seems like the iphone v<insert telecommunications device> a pointless circular argument, I like em both any-ways

When I took a glider lesson some 45 years ago, the instructor seemed impressed, asking if I'd flown a glider before. No, but I'd done some sailing. So, it seems there is a lot of cross-over between flying and sailing, particularly in regards to "seat-of-the-pants" and tiller/stick sensations.

I had a similar thing, my instructor just wouldn't believe it was my first time, only thing I can think is that it was due to many hours on simulators.
