Alisport Silent gliders
Are you referring to Chilhowee, Virginia?
Thanks Mark Lenox wrote: I have flown the 12M version the Silent-IN. Runs reasonably well, climbs reasonably well. Easy to handle on the ground. No significant vices. Plenty of climb power. Slick retract mechanism. It won't come close to keeping up with my old Discus, but it's really not meant to. It is a nice, comfortable, easy to own, personal self-launching glider. It has alot of flexibility and more than enough performance for cross-country flight. One of these days I'll get around to trying out the longer winged version and the pure glider one as well. We have one of each at Chilhowee. Mark Lenox CFIG Chilhowee Gliderport "Dave Boulter" wrote in message ... Hi, I know there is a forum for this, but I am after other comments from pilots in this group who may have flown the aircraft or own one? /daveb |
