Advice on returning to Soaring after over 20 years
I am finally returning to Soaring after over 20 years, I earned a Private Glider rating in '91 and had @175 flights in 2-33/1-26 and a Private Power rating in '92 and 350hrs.
My goal: Regain currency/proficiency and purchase a standard class non-flapped glider. Specifically I was looking for advice/opinions on how best to proceed to that goal in a short time frame (140 days) Question 1: Is it unrealistic to train 2-3 flights a day twice or even 3 times a week? Question 2: Start out in 2-33 or pay a little more for ASK/Grob from the start? (both options are available to me) In the next @140 days I would like to get to 60 or more flights.
