Getting settled in for a flight

This Alexander Schleicher made 17m two-seat glider is one of the most popular training gliders in the world with over 900 built. With docile handling characteristics and advanced aerobatic capabilities, it is a well rounded club trainer.
Training flight launching
Astirs
The club has two Astirs which are used as first single seat training aircraft. After post solo training, pilots are encouraged to move into the single seaters to further their soaring skills. Together with a number of privately owned Astirs in club, there is a very active “Piglet” competition during the soaring season.
Getting ready to launch on runway 34
Piper Pawnee Tugplanes
The club has two Pawnee tugs. These ex-crop dusters are used around the world for glider towing due to their high power-to-weight ratio and ability to land in paddocks for aerotow retrieves. While many of our glider pilots can also fly the tugs, we have many “power only” pilots who tow for us. Being a tug pilot is certainly fun and a great way to build up your hours and experience with free flying. If you are interested in becoming a tug pilot, please contact us.
