4.0 out of 5 stars
Out-of-print but the best training manual,
By Casper Rosewater "casper_rosewater" (Albuquerque NM USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Art and Technique of Soaring (Hardcover)
I learned to soar in the 70s when Carle Conway's "Joy of Soaring" was the most widely used training manual. I haven't seen the more recent editions of the Conway manual but have recently re-read the first edition plus Derek Piggott's "Beginning Gliding" (1995 Ed.) I suggest that Wolters' is superior to both. No single manual contains everything one might want to know so perhaps study a few but buy this out-of-print book used. It gives best overview and explanations and is a very pleasant read.

Wonderful book on soaring.....too bad it's out of print,
By John sullivan (Thermaling over minden) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Art and Technique of Soaring (Hardcover)
This is a very informative book on soaring. A great intro to the sport and filled with amazing pictures. It's a good resource for begining sailplane pilots. It also has good information about mountain waves and other non-thermal sources of lift. Learn about a sport too good for kings. I also recommed exploring the monster a great book about mountain waves and the video"Windborn" which you can get from the ssa office.Soaring is awesome!
