28/02/2012 | Sorry to see there are not any coments about this fantastic glider, myself and a mate, (Keith the wife as was his knick mane back in the old days) flew ours for five years and more we found it had no vices, it was fast and could be flown all over the place in the air. Mind you it was not one of your pansy gliders and you had to fly her all the time, and if you did not get the push out right in turns, then don't bother with the light ridge lift day like we did. I would say the only thing I did note was, nose would drop on landing. I was lucky i some how had the knack and never dropped mine. Great glider, got a bit of a bad reputation which came mostly from people that never flew one. Shame there were not more made and flown. I moved over to mine from a Highway Cloudbase, so shows this was not that hard a glider to handle. I took to mine straight away within two miniuts of being in the air on her at Woolacombe. I was wind dumby that day in light wind and that was my first flight on her, I top landed while the other four that followed me off the hill in new double surface gliders went down to the beach.
