    Glider Ops in Southern CA

    Those guys at Hemet I was about to check out two weeks ago but my plans changed due to some travel. I will give them a go. AGCSC seems like a page without much info, doesn't look reliable. But I will try that if Hemet is a no-go. Thanx! Even if 2-33 is calling me, I have no plans to reply to the...

    I know them, they are great. Superb team. But...only 2-33s too.

    Thanx, but two things: You say Phoenix, this seems to be Portland. I am looking for Southern Cali at the moment. Other than that I found options in Florida. But I appreciate the input, since Portland is closer than Fl. Thank you! Still hoping on SOCal though.

    Don't enjoy flying a plane that does not allow full left or right stick because the designer never considered that the pilot has legs that will interfere. Nor do I enjoy paying $150 for 25min flight on it. It is generally unpleasant to fly, it flies like a cow, it is noisy, it is ridiculous on...

    Look man, if you have nothing to say about training in something other than 2-33, please don't flood the subject anymore. I get how you made 11,500 posts. Not the best place to continue increasing those here though. Thank you for you input. Please if anybody knows an option for Southern...

    I just wrote about that above. No training on anything else but 2-33.

    Either insurance or availability of higher performance planes. Not that it matters. What concerns me is where to fly on anything else. Super Blanik or Ask21 would be great.

    SkySailing is only 2-33 also. So no. Blaniks are with ADs /only in US though, the rest of the World seems to fly them/ and unfortunately there aren't many Super Blaniks in Soutern CA that I know of used for training. It is amazing how in 2022 there is nothing but 2-33 for training. Crystal so...

    Thank you, but what I see is only 2-33 for training. Looking for Grob, Super Blanik, Ask-21 or similar.

    Just gave them a call. Thank you! They said 2-33 initially, now I am waiting for someone to call me to clear up can I fly something different. My guess is probably not, but let's see. Many have better planes, few offer you the privilege to fly something decent.

    No, only 2-33s.
