Default Future Club Training Gliders

Frank, the Puchatek AKA "Puke Attack" is a decent trainer. Pretty
rugged, roomy, good visibility and comfort. Looks/feels a bit
utilitarian. You can instruct speed to fly, spins and low energy
touchdown. It winches nicely. There's even an instrument panel in the
back seat and a usable baggage compartment. The wheel brake is a
separate pull handle.
They've had a few ADs, think the latest was airbrake actuators. The
lack of a continued airworthiness (was it actually 5000 hours?)
inspection program will be the end of them.
Barry Aviation (Peregrine) haven't updated their website in many
years.

Peregrine I mentioned previously.
