What are the planned dates?

Firstly, we can inform you about the logistical plan: the reference airport is San Francesco Int. Airport in Assisi (Perugia) Aeroporto Internazionale dell'Umbria - Perugia, regularly connected with the London airports of Heathrow and Stansted, operated by British Airways and Ryanair respectively. Here you can rent the means of transport that best suits your needs. Regarding accommodation, you can book at 'Albergo Ristorante Montecucco da Tobia,' where most of the participating pilots stay since it is in a strategic location near the slope. Not to be excluded are the hotels in Sigillo: Dominus Hotel, Ostello Del Volo, Villa Costanzi - Breezy Terrace On The Cucco, Appartamenti Albarosa by Holiday World, etc. For all other aspects, we are finalizing agreements with the Mayor of the Municipality of Sigillo. Having obtained your e-mail contact, we will definitely keep you informed.
Looking forward to seeing you at our next meeting on Monte Cucco 2027, we send you our warmest greetings. Domenico Del Rossi Gen. Sec. of G.A.S.P. Villanova PERUGIA.

As a result of the very bad weather forecast for next Saturday, 12th, Shannon MFC has decided to postpone the Glider Gathering on Tountinna for the time being.
Hopefully, we will get another chance to meet in the near future.
Regards, Gerry B

For Sale / Gliders for sale
« Last post by Fred on September 06, 2026, 14:38:31 PM »I need space 
For sale:
Reichard Lunak. WS: 4m. 1 spare wing (left if I recall) and spare Canopy. Only work to be done is fix one of the elevator linkage... I wanted to change it, but it is sitting in my bench for 2 years at this stage, so for someone else to replace it. 400€
ISM 1/3 scale Ka8b. ws: 5m. That is my Ka8b! Very light (7.5kgs if I remember). This glider is on racks for a good 4 or 5 years now! New canopy was fitted. I think one of the wing tip yellow faded (was near a window). Come fully equipped, add receiver, and possibly, check those batteries! Haven't touched it in all these years so I might be missing something, but last flights were in tows in Falaise, and no issues. Hangared since, but that is a fab flyer I have to say. 200€
1/4? scale Schweizer 1-26 - I think it's 4 meters, need to check!. Made in Britany. Have it for years! Never flown it. Just gathering dust at this stage. Just add receiver. Come with a normal wing joiner, and a ballasted one for those funny days
400€
Certainly more to come unfortunately!
