Re: Glider curious

Don't let others belittle the 2-33.
2-33s are wonderful training aircraft.. ours has been teaching new pilots 
for over 20 years.
Remember.. they were designed to teach 14 year olds to fly safely and 
economically.

We train them in 2-33, a two seat trainer.. and after solo pop them into a

1-26 a single seat glider for solo work

One of our most recent private pilots just flew over 60km and return to
day 
in a 1-26... many great glider pilots of today learned in 2-33s and 1-26s.

We "Graduate" our new private pilots into the Grob 103, 2 seat advanced 
training, LS-4 single seat glass for cross country and now a Janus C for
two 
seat crosss country flying.
