Hi, due to the current UK problems with flying K7's we have
resurrected our Capstan.

Having had a first flight in it today I'm surprised at how good it
was. Yes of course it's wooden and doesn't penetrate as well as
glass! But it more than makes up for that when thermalling......

There was one at Gransden Lodge last year; it may still be there.


It is, and has been joined this season by second, very well

restored,
example.


It seems sad that one cannot consult an on-line Aircraft Register in
the UK.
If it were possible, this thread could be answered by a search for all
Capstan gliders on the Register.
I have had a quick Google for such a Register, but it doen't seem to
exist as a web document; at least from a study of the CAA pages.
We have things easier in Australia. One can download the Civil
Aircraft Register as a *.csv file and then use any suitable program
(Access, Excel etc) to search for records of interest.
Cheers, John G.
