Dockweiler RHG Diary

8 have a question regarding Dockweiler how much wine is nesicary in order to soar at Docweiler?

No wine needed, but the wind speed varies depending on the glider that you have and how much you weigh. The Condor 330 can soar with a light pilot in about 10mph. A heavier pilot will take more.

I just wonder!, if I was to have My first Flight in 16 Years down at Dockweiler, what would the Pilot do if I were to Whack His borrowed Glider?
I mean the question for Mr will be as if Shakespeare wrote the Question. It will sound like this: "To Whack or not to Whack".

In 20+ years of flying Dockweiler, I don't recall any glider being seriously damaged by being whacked. But for you, the simple answer is "don't whack"!!

Joe, Rich, and I all had a fun day of flying on April 6th, 2026. I'm sorry it took me a few weeks to put all the video clips together and get it posted. Here's my latest masterpiece:

Frank and I had a fun day at Dockweiler on Monday (April 20, 2026). The wind wasn't quite strong enough to soar the Condor 225, but I was able to make about 25 flights. Frank caught a few of them on video.

The conditions (wind and wing) weren't good enough for Frank to fly after quite a long break from flying. But the conditions were very good for several long ground handling (ground flying) sessions. I don't remember how many sessions Frank flew, but I did think to catch one of them on camera. That session is most of the second half of this video. It was good to see Frank so relaxed with the glider (taking his hands off the bars, talking, and smiling). If there had been a little more wind or wing, I think he'd have had some nice flights. Here's the video:

It was a fun day. Thanks to Frank for being a big part of it!!!

I could really appreciate How if I can get down to Dockweiler next month. It would be so fun for Me to actually Fly again, Heck Yea! My very real sorry is that I might Pound again. Well at Dockweiler the possibility that I would Pound would be negated. Also I will embrace all the good will and kid thoughts that this Post of Mine .ight generate l. Good By everyone. You know I am truly enjoying how My Body has been transformed due t. But there is a Down Side to My loosing just over 100 Pounds. There is a Down side to My having gone on the Pound Diet. My Jeans are 34" waste They just my fall off My waste when I walk across the roim

Frank and I had another fun day at Dockweiler on May 5, 2026. The wind was light, but I made 30 flights (certified by Frank). It was a good workout and a lot of fun. Sadly, the camera ran out of battery long before I ran out of flying. Here are the first few flights:
