Default Thoughts on SGS 1-34 wave ship?


BASA had N7632 sn 12 for many years, took it to wave camp at Minden every wave season. I thought the best feature for wave soaring was the dive brakes. You could deploy them at nearly any velocity and point the nose down. Strong ship. That glider is in Prescott, AZ now, I believe.


Had no Idea that glider was still flying, that was my first glider, I bought with a partnership, about 1969, Had a lot of fun with it including my goal diamond and all of my gold badge flights.

Hook up a hose from the round vent so you can clear the windshield with a well directed blast of fresh air. I had an A14 regulator. This is going to sound strange, but I ran a hose from the mask to the turtle deck to divert my exhales. Problem solved.
