I can see where an insurance company may require a more stringent currency
requirement to specify Make and Model if the club maintains commercial
insurance for giving rides to the general public and accepting a fee.
Insurance companies often have higher requirements than the FARs.

Some club members, more experienced than I, contend that commercial
pilots must have three take offs and landings in the specific model (in
our case, G103) to be used for the ride.

FAR-wise, they are mistaken. Any glider will do (hmm, does that
include the space shuttle? - or any motorglider?).

Common sense-wise, not a bad idea if going from a 2-22 to an ASH-25, or
vice versa! As well as doing them from the same seat the rides will be
given from.

But this is RAS, so common sense is often the first casualty of
conversation....
