We have two 2 seat training gliders.
One is a K13. This is a classic training machine. Tubular metal frame and wood construction. Canvas covered. A great machine to learn in and
great fun to fly.

|
|
|
The other is a K21. This is a modern glass fibre trainer. One of the
best trainers around. Docile and forgiving to fly, but also aerobatic..
|
|
|
After achieving solo standard in our K21 and gaining a little experience, the next step is to move on to the single seat Astir CS77. Flys beautifully.

For Silver C pilots we have a Discus. A fantastic competition class sailplane. A very responsive machine, with a low sink rate and fast flying
capabilities.
|
|
For basic flying training, and for more advanced cross country navigation and field landing training we also have the excellent T61-F motor glider. It is
ideal for the purpose.

|
The most recent addition to our fleet of aircraft is the Super Chipmunk tug aircraft which enables us to now aerotow launch.
|
|
|
Also to get us airborne we have a twin drum Skylaunch winch. Heated, powerful, and gives really nice smooth launches. 450 cu in of throbbing
muscle!

|
For creature comfort whilst we are out on the airfield we have our bus. This is a wonderful refuge from the elements with kitchen facilities on
board to help keep your energy up for some great flying!
