View Full Version : Glider swop


August 5th 08, 12:16 AM
Hi All Kiwi with Wings.

I am wanting to fly in Ely Nevada in July 09, and want to hire or
swop a glider with a US pilot. I have a fully race ready, newely
finished mint condition LS6 18wl - with 302 - Mountain High etc - AH -
all the gear available in NZ. Also can provide house in Omarama or
beside a lake in Queenstown! - + Truck and am happy to set up some
awsome top Kiwi guys to show the way on some amazing Kiwi wave
flying. ie Terry Delore - Mike Oakley - and myself in ASH 25's.

For the US trip I am looking for a 15m glider of LS6 standard or
simular or better.

I can supply references and have totally clean history both on the
ground and in the air.

Pls pass this on to anyone who may be interested.

Discus 2b negotiable if you can manage without flaps?

If not e-mail me separately and I may have a suggestion.

Hi Mike

Thankyou for your reply. I am very keen on a flapped ship. I have
nicked ( but not claimed ) a couple of world records in wave here in
NZ - , and want to get a bit of time in the air in the US. I haver
four or five top NZ pilots also attending Ely. I flew in Nevada two
years ago at the Hilton ranch and got the "feaver" and "need" to get
back.

Any further thoughts would be much appreciated.

Cheers for your responce.

Kind regards

Nick:

We'll have a few pilots from Arizona at Ely next July. I'll be flying
at the Region 9 contest in Parowan, Utah (just across the Great Basin
from Ely) but have to head off right afterward (it's my 25th wedding
anniversary!). I'll also be heading down to NZ to visit a friend in
Dunedin later in the year.

I'll put the word around that you're looking for a 15m ship and see
what we can do.

I'd just like to put in a good word for my good friend Nick. I met
Nick and his wife at the Hilton Cup a few years back. Nick's not only
a great stick, but about the nicest guy one can meet. What else would
you expect from a New Zealander. For anyone to do an exchange with
this great laddy, it's a no-brainer and nothing but a win-win
situation. Go for it.
