Why do you hate renters so much that you would force a 1-36 upon them?


Probably because we are not made of money, and a 30/1 ship is a good
next step up from our 1-26. And, before anyone starts bashing
Schweizers, they make excellent sense for a commercial operation.
They are about as reliable a ship as you can get, they can be tied
down outside, and they take what renters dish out without a problem.
Both our Schweizers, 2-33 and 1-26E, fly quite allot, and have just
about zero expense in maintenance costs. Such could not be said for
the L-13 we used to have, or our Lark. For return on investment, you
can't beat a Schweizer. They are not the latest greatest, and you can
say they are several generations behind current technology, but they
pay their own way. And, if you want to have a healthy commercial
operation, that is the key.


Who's bashing Schweizer? Get a 1-34 instead of a 1-36. They're more
glider for about the same money.

Exactly. The 34 handles better, glides better, and is more readily available.

The 1-36 looks good on paper, but there's a reason so few were built.

Assuming you want a metal glider (to leave outside) and a single
seater, and reasonable insurance, why would you want a
1-34 or 1-36 instead of a 1-35? I've never flown any of the
three, but it seems like there's lots of 1-35s out
there for $15K and Dick Johnson's report and the polar
look pretty good...

I guess I don't have a good idea about the comparison between
these three sailplanes...

So maybe Shawn can tell us how both of these compare to the
1-35? Personally, I was at a BASA meeting where they considered
getting rid of their 1-34 instead of a Pegasus, and the
members instead put $5K or so into the 1-34, because it had
such low maintenance compared to the 101A's and Grob 103s
that they just couldn't see parting with it. 100s of dollars
a year instead of 1000s.
