The First new 304S Sailplanes have been produced as of November 12th 2008
deliveries now in progress!
FIRST 304S for the USA has landed!
The weather after several weeks of fabulous soaring conditions Saturday was horible with low IFR over the whole region and menacing rain and T storms announced. finally the sky cleared a little to 2500" AGL, and we where off the only tow that day at TSA, very unusual at this time of the year. flew 2 flights of 35mins on saturday and 2hrs on sunday, it just gets better at each flight. More news to come later.
It is everything you can expect, Easy to fly, hardly notice you are flying a 18m, except for the speed and the glide, very comfortable "that cockpit". Light commands, accelerates fast, turn ratio like the 15m.
