OK, I'm convinced. Having as many as possible intro gliders into soaring is
better than having fewer...regardless of WHAT the intro gliders look like!


Just as a side note, the Greater Boston Soaring Club (GBSC) will be
putting our three L-23s and our Puchacz to bed for the season in a
couple of weeks, but the club's 2-33 will be flown all winter for
instructional flights whenever the weekend weather allows. Our
students may fly the Blaniks all Summer, but from November to March
the 2-33 is the only 2-place glider flying in New England. If it broke
tomorrow, we'd be scrambling to find another one the day after that.
Of course we also put our single-place L-33, B-4, and 1-34 gliders in
storage and fly our 1-26 all winter, but god forbid we open THAT can
of worms!
