I am not associated with Soaring NV other than as a customer. My post was meant to inform pilots who may be coming to Minden to fly next season, or move here. Last year Soaring NV only had one towplane resulting in significant launch delays. Next season they will have 3 towplanes. I don't know who Uneekc is but local pilots would welcome your towplane too if you are serious.
I have been considering a JS2 SL, but I will purchase the season pass, fly twice as much, get free aero retrieves and more, for 10 years at much less than the price of a self launcher engine. But SL's are great too!
Thanks to all of the folks who posted a positive message. Merry Christmas to all!
