Living in Alaska, suitable lifting currents were fairly rare - especially in winter.
March 31, 20188 yr Author Alex, my good old CS-PBY would win for sure :-) Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)

I flew gliders fairly early on after starting with SEL aircraft. I love flying them. Pure flying, where you fly the wing, not the big fan. Then there's the time when the big fan stopped about 8 miles from the nearest airport! Was happy to have those glider hours under my belt at that point!

I recall a difference in the glide with the fan windmilling and without.
