good to know ...this is a very nice flying, (slow) older vintage
glider....easy to fly, climbs on a Bee's fart..but not a real speedy ship I
remember 75-76 knots is about top speed...faster than that the wing tips
twist enough to keep you at 76 knots..then they act like spoilers )...fly
it like it's a Skylark 4 and it's very enjoyable...I also once owned a
Slingsby Dart 17R.....another great old Slingsby ship....if I were looking
for a vintage glider to fly, not just to show..the Dart would be #1 on my
list..

Hi folks,
Would appreciate very much if anyone out there could send me pictures,
information, histories, etc, of any of the Skylarks that may or may not
be
out there still. Any snippets or anecdotes too! My 'old bird' (the
glider, not the wife!) is still going strong, I hope there are still a
few
of Fred Slingsby's creation still airborne.
Cheers,
G. Ballantyne.
