 Yes, we can all learn from each other. We too had a period awhile back
 when Glasairs were making that sickening 'Thud' sound with some
 regularity. It all boils down to attitude, yours and the airplanes. Get
 training, install an AOA, keep a forward CG, stay out of thunderstorms,
 if you're going to fly low - at least fly fast, and did I say get
 training.
