Facilities

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.

K13

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..

K21

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.

Astir

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.

The latest addition to our fleet is a Rotax Falke. It is used to tow glider into the air and also for basic flying training, advanced cross country navigation and field landing training. It is ideal for the purpose.

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!
