SAMPLEKSample 0 #1 September 2, 2003 Whether your flying canopies, planes or gliders, you are all manipulating the air through flight. Just a tip that improved my understanding and control skills of a canopy: I started to learn to fly gliders. There is a book to study for the private glider rating called The Soaring Flight Manual. There is not enough information out there explaining the very nature and basics of flying a canopy...check this out and you will be glad you did. From winds and turbulence, to aerodynamics and loadings of the wing...its awesome! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tombuch 0 #2 September 2, 2003 Another great book is Flying Conditions Micrometerology For Pilots by Dennis Pagen. It is targeted at glider, ultralight, and balloon pilots, and covers weather systems like turbulence, thermals, air mass stability. Tom Buchanan Author JUMP!
