Soaring Magazine from the SSA also has classifieds. W&W is also the HpH dealer. I can get you a hot deal on a Taurus. |

If you can deal with the problems of importing from Europe, you might take a look at segelfluge.de in their classified section.

Depending on what you're looking for you might also check barnstormers.com and browse the ads under the Glider& Sailplane. The odd item shows up there and a club member bought a 1-26E that was only listed there.. glidersource.com also lists gliders and other items. Overseas you might also check gliderpilot.net classified adverts and segelflug.de (switch to English) and filter the classifieds by category. You mentioned three clubs. Each probably deserves a visit to check out their fleets and private gliders. When it comes to finally making a buying decision, fit and comfort is a consideration, especially as we age. Some are wider at the hip, others at the shoulders, several are taller with long legs, others long torsos. All are factors when finally deciding. You may get an opportunity to slip on a parachute and try on a glass slipper. You should also watch and learn about rigging and derigging. The soaring season's a bit different around there, but if you want to see some racing action, there are 25 pilots registered for the 15m Nationals at Bermuda High Soaring in Lancaster, SC. http://bermudahighsoaring.com/15-m-n...pionships.html The contest runs from 5/6-5/15. There's also a contest at Cordele, GA, from 6/1-6/8, with at least 48 pilots flying three classes of glider flying Region 5 South. www.flycordele.com Contests are an opportunity was watch, learn, and listen. Pilots are engaged, so not as relaxed or open as on a club day. BTW, welcome to the SSA. Frank Whiteley 970-330-2050 7am-10pm MDT. |

Why are some of the gliders listed there say ASW27 marked as “experimental” I thought mainstream factory gliders like the ASW27 were all certified? I am missing something?
