Welcome to the World Class!

As you know, the World Class is no longer the single class PW-5. The World Class is now defined as gliders with a wingspan of 13.5 meters.

As soon as we secure funding to keep this site alive we will start to remodel this site to include all World Class Gliders.

If you would like to become a member of the team that helps us maintaining and making the changes to this website drop us a line. We need your help!

Just a quick follow up on the funding of this website. It is funny how “destiny” sometimes forces a decision.

Decision time… Should we land out or dive for that dust devil in that field over there and rocket back up to 17,999 feet like a homesick angel?

In a fast world think slowly is an idea that is being explored in a Harvard Business Review (HBR) by Professor Frank Partnoy, University of San Diego. Professor Partnoy published a book called: Wait: The Art and Science of Delay. I explored the concept and how it could be incorporated into our flying.

Challenge:

The challenge: How do I spread the news that this website is up and running again?

I have encountered a challenge. The database with all the subscribers to this website got corrupted and was lost. I don’t want to annoy you with technical jargon why this happen, let’s just accept it and move on. I could add on a new subscription button to the front page, so you could subscribe to the news feed again, but there is a small problem with that. Without the proper safety, web crawlers and robots try to sign up and make a mess of everything. Until I have secured some funding to upgrade and add the proper control to make sure only humans sign up, we have to do it the old fashion way. If you want me to send you updates when I add new content send me an e-mail ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ). I will add you to the list.
