Glider on Final Approach - TRK

[Ned Edwards]

Thanks to the folks at Soar Truckee (TRK, Truckee, California), got this
photo of my wife on final during her glider intro lesson. Check them out if
you're ever in the Lake Tahoe area for an intoductory lesson or just a
scenic joy ride.

Glider on final - Mackay, Idaho

[Ned Edwards]

Nice. . . quite a bit more fancy than what I was flying, but then again, it
was a just a trainer.

It is a Schreder HP14 40:1 glider ratio all metal sailplane designed in 1964
and cost me less then 1/2 the price of the 2-33 you were flying.

Notice the altimeter.

....and the bicycle hand brake lever used to actuate the hydraulic disk brake
master cylinder. The Wright brothers used bicycle technology, so why
shouldn't I use it on my homebuilt Schreder sailplane.
