My first glider was a 304CZ (flapped) when I had about 30 hours. No problems
at all. I much prefer flapped gliders because of the higher performance, and shorter landing field requirements -- 10 knots, give or take, less energy when you land. I think that's pretty significant when flying cross-country and facing limited landout options. -ted/2NO "skysailor" wrote in message oups.com... I have approximately 110 hours in sailplanes in the past 2 years and had no prior experience. I am evaluating used gliders for purchase.The big kahuna's in the club are pretty adamant about purchasing a first glider without flaps. My question is: Are flaps that big a problem for a low time pilot and why??? There many good flapped gliders for sale. I would like some opinions concerning this.
