View Full Version : looking to buy 2-place


April 22nd 05, 01:45 AM
We have a group forming in Boise, Idaho intent on putting a 2-place
glider to work. The intent is to get a plane for instruction.
Unfortunately there is nothing available to rent within a 6 hour drive.


At this point we are willing to consider anything available. If you
have any leads on a 2-place glider for sale, please email me. Here is
your opportunity to help build the soaring community.

Thanks,

Call Crazy creek soaring. They may have an ASK-21. I have many hours
in it, and it's a good ship.

Good luck, I may join you up there.

check out www.wingsandwheels.com there are numerous 2 seaters for sale... I
think there are at least 3 SGS 2-33s listed.. you might even find a few
Blanik L-13s... but parts for the L-13 is becoming more and more of a
problem.. very long lead times from the factory.

I thought there was a Blanik L-13 in Boise. Why are you not using it?

Because it is not insured for instruction.

Highly recommend the Peregrine (improved Krosno KR03a). Lower energy than a
Grob 103 and with an oleo suspension for those harder than perfect student
landings, metal so you can tie it out, great visibility, even from the rear
seat (you can even see the horizontal stab!), and will outrun the L-13.
Parts made in the USA and the price is right....

Where were you guys when I brought the 2-33 up from Steamboat? I had
it there for four months on my own bill and the only ones that flew it
were Brian and myself.
I guess it's all in the timing.

At SSA convention they said $48.5K without CG hook, $500 more with CG hook.
I have the literature and CDR around here somewhere. They had a
handiquipped version on loan to Freedoms Wings in Canada,
http://www.freedomswings.ca/main.php, (see Photo Gallery) last season and
they have applied for either a supplemental TC or mod adding hand controls
to the TC. At that time they said next delivery date was June.

They've had a few setbacks with ramping up the tooling for manufacturing
certification(?), something rather different than owning the TC I'm lead to
believe. Plus there was Tim Barry's unfortunate mishap
http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief.asp?ev_id=20030826X01399&key=1
and the more recent hurricane(s).

You are right though, it's all been a bit slow arriving. Best bet is to
call and talk with them.
