speedmouse Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Hello again . Well i hope the snow is not affecting you guys to much. we have very little here at odiham but the snow and ice team are treating it like a frozen apocolypse . Anyway when the weather gets a little better is there anyone that would like to come gliding . it would be run over a whole day with a BBQ and beer in the evening with the club house to sleep in if you decide to have a few. A maximum of 8 people is all we can do as we are a small outfit with only 2 training aircraft . I just thought it would be somthing a little different for some of you guys . I will sort out the prices with the money man See if i can get it on mates rates and make it a cheap fun day . cheers jim Simon please dont think im trying to plug my club . Just thought it would be something different if the weather is just that little bit to windy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morgy Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Hey Speed mouse Sounds like a good idea.. I did my training up at lasham then went of the new zealand to get into a single seater... Loved every minute.. I wouldn't mind getting back into a glider again... Not sure about one of those old woodden K2's again tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haze Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Anything that's called a K2 sounds dodgy to me. Isn't that right Neilzy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil1975 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Jim, Count me in (depending on dates). Have never been gliding & the chance of trying another type of flying would be great. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enzo200500 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I'd be up for some of that. Any weight limits??? Pies permitting.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedmouse Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Morgy .... K2's you are really showing your age. things have got a little better with the invention of Grp and laminar flow wing sections . And the weight limit for the aircraft is 105kg's and max height of 6'2. cheers jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedmouse Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 Ok Gents . A slight change of plan . Its been decided by the powers that be to run a group flying session on a saturday evening . get to odiham at about 4pm and fly until everyone has flown . We have 8 spaces available and its £45 for a 2000ft aerotow. Winch launches are extra if you fancy a go at that as well . A motor glider might be available Subject to Pilot availability for those not hardy enough to handle having no engine . April 21 May 19 June 9 June 23 June 30 the dates above are whats available as it stands as copied from my Club forum . talk between you and see if you can arange to come down on the same evening . thanks jim P.s 100kgs and 6'2 tall max please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
