Any more information available? A fellow club member who is at Parowan provided this report" "The excitement of the day was a mid-air between two motorgliders - an ASH 26 and Ventus 2cx. The two ships collided in a thermal circling in opposite directions. The nose of the Ventus impacted in the middle of the ASH's left wing, near the spar. About six feet of the wing broke off and departed the glider, and the leading edge showed severe stress cracks. Gliders thermalling below witnessed a shower of debris. Both aircraft remained controllable and the ASH landed successfully back at Parowan. The Ventus completed the task and won the day!" No report yet as to the condition of the 2cx. Andy |
