--- Quote from: "Alan_Perse" ---The only vintage gliders I know of that fly at the Dublin gliding Club are Ka8b, Ka6CR, ASK13, SF27, Zugvogal IIIb. There may be a few more. I'm not sure wheather you would call some of them vintage though. At what point does a glider become vintage.

By the way there was another change of plans on Sunday. I got to fly after all. But not from the slope, from the flat. A friend of mine rang me up and asked if I wanted to fly near by my home. It was the first time I flew from a bungee. It was great :D . I may be hooked.
Looking at those pictures of the Ventus 2c its looks like you had a good time at Mt Lensiter as well  :D .

Hi Alan,

Generally,  glider build before 1960 are considered "vintage". I have to go once to the club and take some pictures... :roll:

You flew the Pilatus ? Bungee is the best alternative for flat field when you don't have a tow plane around.
The max size I have launch with a bungee was my Discus (3.30mtrs). Limit, but possible !

And you've really missed a great day in Mount Leinster !!  :D  God that was good !!  :D

Fred
