Just for your information, before you so blatantly post such rude and
one sided statements, you should know that this pilot in particular (whose identity is no secret to me) has a track record of severe damage and abuse to not only this new ship that came from Europe, but also to many other ships owned by the club as well. He is subject to suspension from the club. As a primary witness of that day, I saw that he repeatedly and severely over-rotated the glider during take-off, and was sure to smash the tail to the asphalt concrete after every landing. He was instructed numerous times to fix this behavior. And before hand there was even a 2 HOUR training session, which should have clearly let any pilot there know how you should and should not handle this new glider. He is known in our club for his poor glider handling skills, prior damage to our Grob-103 (twice), severe tail damage to our Junior, and at this point his carelessness that has led to his denial of being such an inadequate pilot in the first place. He is aspiring to become a glider instructor and to this I must say, GOOD LUCK! All the Puchacz AD's were completed by authorized shops in Europe. There is an FAA investigation in process. We are following all and any rules, so any statement made to the contrary, is extremely incorrect. But what I have to say in accordance to this post, is that it was immature and premature to have posted this at all. Ed S. is no saint in the soaring community and if that is your perception on the man after his phone call to "alert" the community and "save the Puchacz's and their users", I can honestly say that you are all VERY mistaken. Best Regards, Blue Skies and Happy Soaring to all ![]() - Show quoted text - I've read many posts from Cindy. Not one of them were ever "blatantly rude or one-sided". Dude, take a deep breath and check your attitude a little. That was way off base. |
