Whether you're a beginner
just about to take your first lessons, an early solo pilot building your hours
or an experienced glider pilot looking to fly cross country, our modern fleet of
gliders is well suited to your needs! With
3 dual controlled, two seat training gliders, a single seat glass fibre glass
glider and a single seat wooden glider, our fleet provides a well balanced
choice capable of supporting all
aspects of pilot training. In addition to the Club gliders, there are also a number of privately owned gliders kept on the site ranging
from a vintage K6cr to a number of modern high performance
glass fibre gliders.
