While surfing the internet today, I happened to stumble upon the FAA library, which allows anybody to download the most recent manuals (in .pdf version) at no cost. Books that may be of interest to RJGC members include:
Glider Flying Handbook
Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge
Student Pilot Guide
Aircraft Weight and Balance Handbook
Airplane Flying Handbook
Aviation Instructor's Handbook
There are quite a few more books available for download, some of which may be of very limited interest to glider pilots. The entire library can be searched at http://www.faa.gov/library/manuals/
