Buying & Selling Gliders, New & Used (I've got 33 tucked away!)

This webinar covers some of the basics of buying and selling both new and used gliders.Â* We will discuss some of the things to look at when purchasing more vintage gliders, Â*as well as ordering shiny, brand-new, super ships.Â* We are excited to have two very qualified Presenters for this webinar.

Our Presenters are Steve Leonard and Sean Franke.

"Hi, my name is Steve.Â* I buy gliders. (Hi, Steve.) Â*The experience I have gained collecting a fleet of vintage and historic sailplanes can be used to inform you of the perils and processes of buying a used sailplane. Standard or Experimental Airworthiness, currently flying, small project, major project or just-walk-away. I've seen a LOT." Â*Steve has 33 gliders tucked away. Steve is a second generation soaring pilot, and currently Towplane Manager for the Kansas Soaring Association, Director of the Wichita Soaring Association, and a Trustee for the National Soaring Museum. He flies from Sunflower Aerodrome in Kansas.

Sean Franke is our other speaker for tonight.Â* Sean is the CEO of Wings & Wheels Soaring Supplies and is the American representative for HpH Ltd. glider manufacturer.Â* From these roles, Sean can outline new factory purchase processes, and the business of advertising your used glider for sale.He is a third generation glider pilot who soloed at age 14.
