For the US trip I am looking for a 15m glider of LS6 standard or

Discus 2b negotiable if you can manage without flaps?


If not e-mail me separately and I may have a suggestion.

Hi Mike

Thankyou for your reply. *I am very keen on a flapped ship. *I have
nicked ( but not claimed ) a couple of world records in wave here in
NZ - , and want to get a bit of time in the air in the US. * *I haver
four or five top NZ pilots also attending Ely. *I flew in Nevada two
years ago at the Hilton ranch and got the "feaver" and "need" to get
back.

Any further thoughts would be much appreciated.

Cheers for your responce.

Kind regards

Nick Reekie


Nick:

We'll have a few pilots from Arizona at Ely next July. I'll be flying
at the Region 9 contest in Parowan, Utah (just across the Great Basin
from Ely) but have to head off right afterward (it's my 25th wedding
anniversary!). I'll also be heading down to NZ to visit a friend in
Dunedin later in the year.

I'll put the word around that you're looking for a 15m ship and see
what we can do.

Mike
