Paul Remde of cumulus soaring (http://www.cumulus-soaring.com) emailed me yesterday to tell me that his shipment of my book “Cross Country Soaring with Condor” has arrived and is now available for purchase at his site.  This is the culmination of many years of real-life and Condor cross-country racing, and  way too many months of trials and tribulations (see my ‘Adventures in Self-Publishing’ post).  This book is aimed at real-life soaring pilots who would like to get into cross-country racing for the first time, or would like to get better at it.  The book comes with a free companion CD that contains full-color images of all the figures (the book had to be printed in b/w for cost reasons),  flight plans and flight tracks for all the example flights, and the thermalling and ridge transition videos.  I think this is a terrific buy at only $19.95 – but of course I may be just a wee bit biased.

If you are in the U.S. and are planning to fly in a soaring contest this year, I will also have autographed copies for sale at the soaring contests I am attending.  I’ll be at Mifflin, Ionia, Cordele, CCSC, Wurtsboro, Logan, Uvalde, Llano, and Fairfield.
