New in the second edition
- The main change for the second edition
is the addition of 2 sections in the appendix under the heading: "Common
Errors". The first section is entitled "Errors of Commission".
The second section is entitled: "Errors of Omission (failure to...)".
I already liked this book because it has many insights that I had not
come across before, but these 2 new sections alone are well worth the
price of the book. They are fantastic!
- Additional material in many chapters
- More illustrations
- Existing illustrations improved

About the Author
I took my only sailplane ride in the autumn of 1974. That first climb
in a thermal was so convincing, my second flight was a first lesson, and
every flight since then has been one lesson after another.
After sixteen seasons soaring out of Stowe,
Vermont, a quest for the finest year-round soaring in America drew me west
and south. About 12,000 hours have accumulated, most of that while
instructing in the high desert and big mountains of California.
So much to learn! So few seasons!
