"Although it was nearly 27 years ago that I made my first cross-country flight in a glider, I can recall it as if it were yesterday. It was a mixture of emotions, tremendous excitement and a fear of the unknown. I just wish that Flavio had written this book 27 years ago! It certainly would have reduced the numerous mistakes I made on my route to becoming a soaring pilot."

(Mike Young, British 2008 World Championship Team member in the 18m class)
