50k or Bust!

Post by Jim Bittlestone »

Just read Nigel Page's book on basic techniques for xc, a good read for pilots looking to go over the back. More aimed at beginners like me as opposed to proper pilots tho.
He discusses british conditions and has some interesting theories on flying for duration.
He uses simple language and is very readable.
Just my opinion.
Cheers
Jim

Maybe he ll bring out an app that tells me where the thermals are and which way to fly. Then I won't need one of those old fangled books.

Just about 5 k or bust would do at the minute.
