Default Where can I get dual instruction in a glider with flaps? (USA)

What ship are you training to fly in? I fly an all-flapped 1-35 and

there are some good written reviews on how to fly them.


I want to transition to a SGS 1-35 after flying a Grob 102 and ASK-21. Initial landing will be on a 5500 foot runway at a low traffic airport, so I can ease into using the flaps. I have a CFI-G who has flown 600 hours (years ago)in a SGS 1-35 who will brief on the ground.

The other suggestions are much appreciated. I don't fly power, but I may take some lessons in a Cessna 150 per Charli's suggestion. I plan to fly a few hours of power instruction (just for general knowledge) in any case.
