Well as my good friend (and former Schweizer pilot) Jim Short reminds me...no one has been killed (yet...knock on wood) in a 2-33. Ugly, flies like a Chevy half-ton pick-up, cross controlled to thermal, can't get a date in one, but indestructible...its the JEEP of the fleet. Plus, what other glider can you get your dog airborne in???? http://tinyurl.com/bgokd Not every operation has unlimited funds to buy a Duo Discus, or other supership. What we need is a safe, strong, reliable ship that will deliver a return on its investment, and keep us economically viable and in operation. (Isn't that the first priority???) Is it the ship I would choose to fly on a good XC day, or as a personal fun ship? Nope. But, would I choose it to train beginning pilots, day in and day out, while not breaking the bank? Yup. Thank you Schweizer. Want a Duo, need a 2-33. As I said, sounds reasonable. BTW interesting discussion on Glider Forum "If you could help design a trainer what would it be like?". Shawn |
