"Silly gliding hats". That reminds me, I need to get one.

@bajesus666 They have been grounded for more than a year!

[bajesus666]

i recently heard all L13s are grounded; is that true?

[Lagdieb]

a closer look on the vario would have been more interesting than the landscape. o0

It's helps protecting us against the sun, cause it can get really hot under the canopy if you do a flight of a couple hours, but because a normal cap woud take away to much of our view ( if you're flying with ten or more gliders in a thermal you need to keep a good look-out) so we were silly hats :D

@miketacoma5

We call it thermic hats! A normal cap is to big to use it in a glider because it will block your view; you are watching a lott around you. But you need a hat for the sun, so we use those nice hats!
