Our club (chicago glider club) just bought a new ASK21, and it's a joy both to fly and teach in. John Cochrane Get the Schweizers to bring back the 2-33's, the best BASIC trainer ever built.... Yeah, and the Air Force is going to replace it's T-38s with AT-6s. Sorry, but the 2-33 is simply not the right trainer anymore (if it ever was, considering that it postdates the Blanik and is a contemporary of the sweet little ASK-13!). *We need to attract people to this sport, not drive them away screaming (or laughing,,,) Kirk Kirk, well said. ASK-21 -- great solid and safe ship from a proven manufacturer capable of supporting their fleet. Then get pilots into the Duos and DG-1000S class club machines as soon as possible and you'll have more of a chance of keeping them in the sport. At least give them lots of chances early on to see what a high performance glider can do. Darryl- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I am really curious. How many of you got into soaring with no prior interest in flying? I wanted to fly since I was about 4 years old. When I was 47, I finally got the chance, and almost all my lessons were in a 2-33. Frankly I don't think it would have mattered to me WHAT the club had to fly. I just wanted to be in the air. |
