(Kurt) wrote in message . com... We are looking for a single place ship for our rental fleet, preferably a 1-36. If you have one for sale, e-mail me at: Why do you hate renters so much that you would force a 1-36 upon them? My guess is probably because the Gorp 103 has turned out to be a hangar queen that only eats money and man hours. Nobody needs two of them. Good luck, Kurt. (Sadie still flying?) |

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. Shawn |

If I'm not mistaken, there's both a 1-34 at Las Vegas Soaring and a 1-35 in
Caddo Mills for sale right now, fair prices on both... -Rob FLF "Shawn Curry" wrote in message link.net... Kurt wrote: (Liam Finley) wrote in message . com... (Kurt) wrote in message . com...

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... |

glider for about the same money. Shawn 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. |
