Just thought it would be interesting to see how many of us here fly gliders, or have flown them in your past.

I was flying gliders till 1976 ; AS K13 , Bergfalke, Blanik L 13 (with this one I climbed till 4,600 meters over Guidonia, Italy- the tow leaved me at 600 meters)

 

 

I have some problems with the language and the connection too. Anyway I will try to introduce myself . I started flying in 1969 in Rome (Italy) aboard the very nice FL3

 

(60 HP) tailwheel, wood and canvas a/c.. My first licence has been with a glider (Blanik L13). I like tailwheel a/c. . I had the chance to fly : American Champion Super Decathlon, Jodel D128, Cap10,

 

Eurofox.

 

Now I feel an attraction with some one seat a/c like : Menestrel HN 34, Colibri MB2 and finally

 

with the Jurca Tempete but I need to prepare myself accordingly, because I'll be alone aboard since the first flight... "Take off is optional, soft landing ...mandatory " (I just red here some minute ago)!
