Which brings us kind of full circle. The argument is
not against the World Class just against the requirements
and in turn against the PW5.

Or in other words, against the original concepts of the class. Even
though you have no interest in flying it, or letting those that do fly
it do so without a lot of unneeded derision.

As a former 1-26 owner, why am I not surprised?

Soaring is going to die a well deserved death, killed from within, not
from outside influence.

I think Eric was suggesting he'd be competeitive flying
an LS4 if the others were still flying PW5s

Guess you havent heard of hiring huh :-)


Here is an interesting fact - hiring a PW5 in either
NZ or Nitra would have cost you more than renting a
Ventus 2 for a proper World Gliding Champs.

Yep - all your points are valid Gentlemen.
This thread and its like are really quiet entertaining for getting
rabid (or should that be rapid) reaction :-)

Now the rain has stopped I think I might go flying.
Now the big question.

uuum LS4 or PW5 :-)

Lennie,

I see you still havent got a life yet. When are you
going to go gliding again? Come on over, I will take
you gliding, it may get rid of all that negativity
you display towards our sport/hobby. If you are not
interested in gliding then please sod off and leave
us alone.

I do not post on Lathe websites, as I am not interested
in them. Neither do I post on bird-watching websites,
again as I am not interested. Do you see what I am
getting at?

He reads this NG because he IS interested. Probably much more than he'll
admit to himself - let alone others.

Interested in that some of the people I once knew post here
occasionally. The only word I get from all but one if you discount
the advertising every year. What I hear from the other one, "COme,
let us fly", Sorry. Front seat ballast in a 2-33 for the rest of my
life is not what I had in mind.

Interested in that I may be asked to go back to work for a while, due
to factors beyond the control of the shop owner, and thinking I might,
but only if I do none of the aircraft work that comes in from time to
time. As sue crazy as the aviation world is, I don't want to touch
anything connected with it. If the owner goes along with it, ok. If
he doesn't, he's a one man shop.

180 from the truth, since I stopped dumping every available dollar for
nothing in return, I am far better off, and having a ball. Unlike
many here, and I suspect you are one, my life doesn't begin and end at
the gliderport.

going to go gliding again?

Quick answer, I have no intention of wasting time even driving past an
airport of any kind, now or in the future.

But, look at yourself and your postings from the point of a newbie
thinking about trying the hobby. He/She might be able to just afford
a PW, and decides to look on the net to find out opinions. All he/she
is going to read is badmouth and snobbery towards the plane and the
class. He/She decides some other hobby is better.

You are not promoting anything by talking it down, you are merely
driving another nail into soarings coffin. Carry on. Attitude is
everything, attitude towards the 1-26 and the people that fly them is
why I decided that any other hobby would be far more rewarding. (And
probably in much better company.)

Now it goes to the local brothel???

Are you that thin skinned and reliant on the opinions of others that you cannot
stay in soaring because someone dissed you??? Pretty fricking sad.

Must be something in your neighborhood. But it shows the level of
your mind nicely. I've only added nine machines since I quit throwing
the money away, compared to zero during the time I was wasting time
and money on gliders.

No. I'm saying that the negative pressure towards the plane never
quits, and I didn't find it worthy of resisting. I'm a firm believer
in everyone having a right to their own opinion, but I believe even
more strongly in my right not to hear it.

But, say, $120 thrown for tow fees or the same thrown at a brothel,
the end result is the same, you're $120 poorer for it. No difference.
