 Beginning Gliding, not for beginners October 5, 2006
Haluk Yildiz
5 out of 8 found this review helpful
Too complicated for beginners, I started gliding 2 years ago and got this book as a reference. IMHO, this book is not for a beginner. It is obvious that the writer is very professional and he knows more theory than the instructors that I have flown. After 2 years I have done about 40 solo flights and still find this book boring and too much detailed. Try to find a short simple that explains basics of gliding.
 Should have been better November 21, 2003

I was very happy with this book until I came across (and bought) the Glider Pilot's Manual.
DP's conversational tone is fine but line drawings should be more clear and the collection of DP books should form a coherent series, probing the depths of the sport. Alas!
Buy this one, certainly, you'll make no mistake. But beware : successive DP books include many of the same drawings and word-for-word text extracts.
 A class act for the pre-solo pilot February 27, 2001

Contains everything a pre-solo pilot needs to know to understand how to properly launch, control and land a glider. Has some basic information on lift types. Tells you how to correct all of the usual mistakes, and lots of different ways to think about the same thing. If you're even thinking about taking up gliding, buy this book - the technical aspects are covered in an easy to understand manner, with lots of handy sketches.I doubt DP will ever read this, but If you ever do -thanks!
