Pipistrel Taurus: Club Glider?
Hi Everyone!
Our club has been considering the Pipistrel Taurus as an addition to our fleet. Does anyone have any experience with it, or any thoughts regarding its potential (or lack thereof!) in a club environment? Don't tear each other apart, please... I've seen y'all get viscous on here before during these wintertime doldrums!  Thanks! Phil

It will be delivered to Chicago on 3/3 and we plan to pull it to KLUM, Menomonie, WI, where it will be inspected & registered. David plans to make it available to Twin-Cities area glider pilots, perhaps on a lease-back arrangement with a local glider club. Additional information on the Taurus is available on the Pipistrel websites: http://www.pipistrel-usa.com/models/sinus.html http://www.pipistrel.si/ You can also get more information from David or me by calling or emailing us. Our contact information is on the Pipistrel-USA website: http://www.pipistrel-usa.com/dealers...ml#Anchor-3594 Safe Soaring, Paul Randall, CFI-G 651.295.8968 (m)

It was built for a European customer who changed his mind. So it was available for immediate delivery. The alternative was to wait 6 months - which would have meant missing this soaring season.
