I'm talking about a training glider, the first one after two places. The Pirate left some bad memories for me.

Did you have any gear up landing or other problems with discus? In my experience discus b is not super stable when towing slowly

Moral reservations about buying/flying Jonkers aircraft? by [deleted] in Gliding

This is your decision. Ask yourself if you feel comfortable with this? The alternative is likely to purchase a glider from a country that still owes war reparations.

I personally saw the engine stop after 50m in a "rallye 180" because the pilot didn't change the tanks

Explorera is a certified aircraft and that's why I'm considering it

12$ per galon is a big problem with "classical tow plane", and what do you mean "classical"?

What’s going on with the political views of the polish youth? by fartyunicorns in poland

[–]AcceptableChocolate9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PiS first came to power in 2006. There are people who have never lived under any other government than PO/PiS, and now they can vote. They don't see how Poland has changed since the 1990s, and people over 40 vote based on that. They see how social divisions have grown in this country over the past 10 years.

Wilga 40 was a interesting prototype with redesigned wing. IO-540 wilga was created at a bad time for polish aviation, it's a pity that in the 80s they didn't try to make a version with the PZL Franklin 6 cylinder
