We have a PW-5 in my club and it hardly ever gets flown. *When it

fly, it tends to stay locally even though our club promotes and
encourages cross country soaring. *That glider just doesn't have long

Snip...

we've got a PW-5 in our club and the owner has been really active
after getting his Private last summer and has done some cross country
flying. *The idea that the PW-5 doesnt have long enough legs to go
cross country is laughable. *I was thermalling with him over memorial
day and when we left the thermal he said goodbye. *And I have better
performance than the 1-26! *by the way the 1-26 association just
happens to be winning the OLC in the US at the moment...

Hey! No sense letting a guy named Osama hog religious extremism in the
cause of 'good.' Hating PW-5s seems an acceptable substitute for some!

Now...who wants to be the first in this thread to bring up Hitler?

Extremely Yours,

P.S. Scott A. - you'll need to raise your level quite a bit to count as
a religious extremist in the PW-5 wars!

Don't make me come out of retirement Bob...
