  • Free Flight Vol Libre
    3/93 Jun/Jul free flight • vol libre Deepest sympathies are extended to the family of Gunther Geyer– Doersch. Gunther, a very long time and much respected member of SAC, passed away on 10 May on losing a siege with cancer. His absence will be much regretted in the soaring community. A lively discussion (argument, tirade) took place at our last club meeting on the issue of attracting new members. The club president claims that we old f---s (beg your pardon, senior members) are the cause of new people not joining the club. He claims that we form an elite clique that coolly shoulders away any attempt by newcomers to join our happy little circle. The president claims people will not join if they are not having FUN, and we older members stop them from having any FUN because of all the rules and restrictions we put in their way — they can’t do this, and they mustn’t do that, and they have to abide by those, and they can’t have FUN under those condi- tions. To stay they must have FUN, not just during the few minutes they are flying, but also during the hours they are at the club waiting to fly (or waiting after flying to do their duties — oops, mustn’t use that, it’s not a FUN word). The president maintains that statistics prove him out, that the average age of the club member is increasing, indicating that we are not attracting young people. I didn’t want to spoil his argument by pointing out that if we kept every member which ever wished to join, the statistics would indicate the same thing, but we would have a humongus sized club.

  • The Do's and Don'ts of Contest Flying by Richard Schreder the Subject Of
    The Do's And Don'ts Of Contest Flying by Richard Schreder The subject of my talk this morning is the Do's and Don'ts of contest flying. I'm going to work from notes that I've made over the years since I've been in soaring. I've had lots of happy experiences, a few unhappy ones, and I've tried to write down all of the reasons for having the unhappy ones. This is what I'm going to dwell on principally this morning. They are not organized in any special way. I'm just going to run through them and read off the note that I made at the time, and I made these notes right after I was down on the ground sitting and watching everybody going over with beautiful cumulus in the sky. So some of these may sound sad or they may not make good sense, but they made awfully good sense to me at the time. First of all I would like to say that to go into a contest you must have a good sailplane, a good car, a good crew, and a good trailer. Of course you're already committed when you decide to go. You have your sailplane, but a little thought ahead of time will save you a lot of trouble. A good sailplane in a contest will save you a lot of headache. You want something that you're familiar in and here again I say don't do like I do but do as I say, because I've gone to several contests, as most of you know, with sailplanes that have only been flown once or maybe not even flown at all in one case and this certainly doesn't help you to do well in the contest.

  • Free Flight Vol Libre
    3/02 Jun/Jul free flight • vol libre Priorities Air Cadets I would like to start this column by offering greetings to the cadets enrolled in the 2002 Air Cadet Gliding Scholarship Training Course who are receiving this issue of free flight. Free flight is published by the Soaring Association of Canada (SAC), a volunteer organization dedicated to promoting the sport of soaring in Canada. Virtually all soaring in Canada, outside of the Air Cadets, takes place at SAC clubs. In a typical SAC club, more emphasis is placed on post-licence flying than on flight training and issuing licences. Most clubs have modern composite single seat sailplanes available for their members. Pilots are encouraged to soar, to fly cross-country and pursue FAI badges. There are a couple of programs that SAC offers to assist Air Cadets who are interested in flying with a SAC club. SAC sponsors a number of continuing flying scholarships through the Air Cadet League. SAC membership is free for any active cadet who joins a SAC club. Cadets interested in finding out more about SAC and soaring as it is practised at SAC clubs, can look at our website <http://www.sac.ca>. There you will find a list of clubs and their locations, back issues of free flight in electronic format that you can download, and other soaring-related pages. There is also some good information on <http://edmc.net/ soar/cadets/>. SAC members who wish to learn more about the Air Cadet League of Canada can visit their website at <http://www.aircadetleague.com>.

News No.55 SUMMER 1985 EDITORIAL The long winter gave way to a wet spring. Those of our gliders which were lucky enough to have had winter storage were brought out only to have their woodfs moisture content topped up by deluges of rain. In Britain, one thinks that if only we can get through to March, then the winter will have passed. But to have had to wait until mid May before anything resembling a soaring day should occur••• is a long wait indeed. The Spring was livened up for the President by him being invited to give an account of the "objects and state of the VGC" before the Conference International de Vol a Voile (C.I.V.V.) in Paris on the 21st March. In spite of being fully aware that he was in the presence of such great pilots as Hans Nietlispach, Edward Makula, etc., etc., who had flown our vintage gliders rather further and better than some of us are ever likely to fly them, C. Wills, being finally invited by Bill Ivans, the President, to speak, was able to give an account which appeared to be received like a breath of fresh air. Unfortunately, the VGC's International events could not be accepted by the FAI for inclusion in their annual calendars, as the VGC is not one of their members. However, it has now become clear that our International events and their locations can be submitted to them for inclusion in their calendars, providing they are sent in by National Aero Clubs, in whose countries our events are to be held, which are members of the FAI.
