HpH 304CZ as first sailplane
Without a doubt, the surgeon. Predictions by wives are always too
gloomy. I'll bet having a physician wife makes it especially hard to think of snappy comebacks, though. Ray Warshaw |

HpH 304CZ as first sailplane
WOW! I never expected such a great response!.
I sincerely appreciate the thoughtful and thought provoking comments. You have all given me lots of food for thought. Obviously the issue of proper training and preparation is number one. In my mind this is a given. I posed the question because I have an oppportunity to purchase a 304CZ that is in my neighborhood and comes from a highly recommended source. I know that I may have to sit on it for a while until I get up to speed in the category, but after reading all the reponses it honestly doesn't seem like it's something that is "out of my league", again given the proper instruction. I will DEFINATELY do the dual cross country training that has been recommended. This is a great idea and something I had planned to do regardless of what aircraft I selected. Thanks to all you who took the time to reply. I will follow up on this post once I make a decision! Frank |
