This week three EN B gliders on our hills, EN B or the old DHV gliders. There was a time that other pilots looked down on these gliders, and didn't want to be seen with them. Times have changed. These gliders are not parachutes any more, but really fly. Proof this week. The Aereos glider from Ukraine, the Mojo3 from MOJO, and the NOVA glider, all performing absolutely great in - at times - bity thermals.
Excellent for low airtime pilots, it is giving them so much confidence, refining their skills in thermals, in rougher conditions. Their next glider will probably be an upgrade. I can almost believe they'll have a headstart compared to students flying a Dhv1-2 from starters.
Hoy, today, thunderstorms and heavy rains over Alicante.
