The 'new' SZD two place ship does look interesting,
but is it a better 'mid price range' trainer than the
PW6? What about thePeregrine(nee KR-02)? And, of
course, the tried and true Blaniks (L-13 and L-23).

Is thePeregrineeven alive these days?

Oh yea, how about that other new two seater, the Taunus.
That's a nice looking ship! Even available as a self-launcher,
I think.

I'd left a message and e-mailed http://www.PeregrineAerospace.com the
other day. Patty Barry called today to update me on the status of
their project. Some of the delay is certifying material changes, so
that domestically available steel and aluminum can be used. This also
includes weldment processes and testing, so progress takes some time.
She was cautiously optimistic about this winter.
