2-32 glider

Hello :
This is my 3rd week of writing on this method and i sure like it.
My next venture is to learn how to put movies with the script. I can't do that today but I will describe a flight in a 2-32 glider. The camera was bolted to the cockpit frame right at my left ear. The film starts with the take-off pulled behinnd a L-19. I cut lose from the toe at 3000 feet and was able to climb to 5000 feet on a thermal.
This is the narration. As I dive to the ground
" Dive until you have an exciting sound"
Then I pull up with the nose passing through the sun's rays.
" Pull it up, but it will slow that speed "
" Roll it over before you fall "
"The heart beats faster with this sudden drop " we are really diving to earth
"Don't get excited for the drop will stop." Then I bank it over in a tight turn to check the glider port.
I am heading for a water tower and I say " we had better make it or we will be in the clover.
We did and then I turn final approach and the voice says,
"To the earth we must all return, keep it level keep it straigh and true a good touchdown."
I land the glider and roll up 18 feet from the camera. Some pilots are glad if they hit the field. Give me a reply even just to say hello ARE YOU A GLIDER PILOT ?
