Soaring Product Training

I have been working hard creating interesting and useful Soaring Product Training videos over the years. There are nearly 100 of them so far, with many from this year, and many more coming soon. You can see a list of all the videos on this page (below).

The best way to support my efforts and gain access to the entire Soaring Product Training video series is to become a Patron for $9.95/month. Patrons also receive discounts on purchases at Cumulus Soaring, Inc. and free technical support.

I will be giving away a new LXNAV Nano GPS flight recorder ($470 value) as soon as my Patreon page reaches 200 Patrons. The number of Patrons is shown on the site. All current Patrons and Mutual Support Members will be entered into the drawing for the Nano. I will even ship the new Nano to you - anywhere in the world - for FREE.

Please share this opportunity with your soaring clubs and friends. The more everyone promotes this opportunity, the sooner someone gets a free Nano.

Soaring Product Training Overview

Soaring Product Training is a series of 100+ existing videos, and new videos coming this year, and for many years to come.  They include:

  • Product overview videos related to sailplane instruments and software
  • In-depth training videos related to sailplane instruments and software

I have been selling, supporting and flying with soaring instruments and software since 1990.  I’m a very technical person and enjoy getting to know the details about the products with which I work.  You can benefit from my technical knowledge and experience. 

The videos are designed to meet several needs:

  • Product Overviews - Help determine whether a product is right for you before buying. 
  • In-depth training - Get the most out of your existing soaring instruments and software. 
  • "Spring Refresher Course" – Remind you how to use your instruments and software after the long winter. 
  • Soaring club members - Learn how to use the instruments and software installed in the club's aircraft.

Rent vs. Buy
Rented videos are made available to you for a specified period of time.  Purchased videos can be accessed any time.  They do not expire or time-out. 

I plan to support the soaring community for another 20 years, so the videos will be available at least that long.  Of course, it is impossible to know whether Vimeo will offer Videos on Demand for the next 20 years, but I will do my best to make sure that all purchased videos will be available in one way or another.

New Videos Included
When you rent or purchase the entire series, you have access to not only all currently existing videos, but also all new videos added to this series in the future.  I plan to create 5 to 10 videos every year and add them all to this series.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about the Soaring Product Training video series.
