My home club is in the beginning stages of research on the purchase of
a new/used two place glider. Rather than focus on what you would like
to own, we want to focus on what you currently do own.

We would like to ask you a few questions;

- What two place gliders are owned by your club?
SGS 2-33, Grob 103

- What were the considerations when your purchased those gliders?
2-33.. primary training.. Grob 103 advance training and transition to glass
single seat

- Which glider would you purchase again? both.. but would prefer a ASK-21
over the Grob 103

- Do you prefer glass or aluminum for a club ship? Why? Pros/cons?
either.. a 2 seat metal ship would be an L-13 or L-23.. we've lost two L-13
to spoiler vs speed brake handle confusion... we have no hangers to store
glass.. metal would hold up better to the elements

- Do you store the glider inside or outside? If inside is this in a
hangar or trailer? Outside.. two seat.. no trailer available and hard to
put together, no hangers available

- If in a trailer have there been any issues with assembly/disassembly
by club members? Not everyone pays attention to assembly training of a
large Glass Bird.. can take 4 people and an hour for the Grob 103

- Does the club supply parachutes? Only 1, for the single seat glass

- What instruments do you consider necessary beyond altimeter, ASI,
compass, mech vario? Audio Vario, Radio, with boom mic and ppt switch


Thanks in advance for your responses.
