Active Cherokee II's by

around 150 Cherokee II's were built worldwide. I only for certain know

LS3-17 For Sale by
Paul Hampshire
A rare opportunity to purchase this classic gilder. She has been very well
looked after and flies like a dream. She has very low hours and launches
(845 Hours & 361 launches as of May 2009). She has her original Gel coat,
which is in very good condition.
The flaps give good slow speed handling in...

So long by
Ian
Dear All
It's been a while since I've been much of a contributor here, but I've
been around since about 1992, when I took up gliding. No more, though
- my Pirat went off to a new home today and I am now officially an ex
glider pilot ... for the next few years I plan to concentrate on
sailing.
I'd...

WaltWX
Hi Jim,
Today, Fri 07/01 was the first day of a building warm core high
pressure aloft. Traditionally, there's a lot of subsidence capping
inversions which makes it very poor day. Noted a flight out of Bishop
where the best altitude on the Whites was only about 13,500 with a lot
of close ridge...

Podcasts? by
Bullwinkle
There was a flurry of posts in the couple of weeks prior to the Convention
about getting podcasts of sessions using cell phones.
Can I assume by the silence since then that this did not come to fruition?
Thanks,

Libelle Wings by
Steve Leonard
'If the comment that 'any 201 can be retrofitted with
a B stamp' is really true...'
I think that is implying that any 201 can have the
ballast system added, and the flight manual revised
to show the higher gross weight permitted with water
ballast. My machine is having troubles openning...

Emergencies on aerotow by
[email protected]
You cannot teach safety in paragraph-long sound bites.
Unlike a high percentage of glider pilots, if you want to be a safe pilot, you need to educate yourself.
How many launching emergencies are there? All pilots automatically think of rope breaks. Believe it or not, 41 emergencies are listed,...
