First ship was a Russia AC-4CK. *Nicely built by a guy in Oregon.
Super sweet handling with reasonable performance for a short wing

pilot when I got it, absolutely no issues with the transition. *I flew
the Russia alot and that ship took me beyond 300Km. *I cannot imagine
that there is a glider that is easier to rig or derig. *Flew it for 4
years and then sold it to get a 15 meter ship.

Second and current glider is a DG-303 Acro. *I REALLY like the DG.
Good looking, amazing visability, super comfortable cockpit, great
performance, easy to rig. *I've already done three 500km flights and
spent over 7 hours comfortably in the DG. *This could be the start of
a long relationship!

Oops! The Russia was built by a guy named Brad in Washington state,
not Oregon. (To give credit where credit is due!!!) Nice guy, great
ship.
