Time for the annual PW5 discussion.
After reading all the negative posts here for years about how bad the PW5 is and how it is leading to the downfall of Soaring around the world, I have come to a realization. It is FEAR. Yes, all these hotshots who put down this ship simply could not compete against other sailplane pilots on a level playing field. They need their big wallets to stay competitive. Most of them couldn't stay in the air in a ship of less than 40:1. Put these guys in a PW5 and Lennie the Lurker could fly circles around them in his 1-26. PW5's are the perfect ship for a new generation of competition pilots. BAH, HUMBUG on your LS-4$, they stopped making them for a reason. PW-5's Forever ; ) |
