My syndicate partner and I have a Grob Speed Astir II for sale. These gliders are not well known, there are only 3 in Australia, ours and two IIB models in WA. Anyone who has flown this aircraft has been delighted with the handling and performance.
I am 185cm and 105kg and find it a bit tight while wearing a chute, so she must be sold. This glider is a delight to fly, gets a true 40:1 , is flapped, has winglets, B50, Soaring pilot Glide computer with Palm PDA, Microair radio, Boom Mic, GPS35 (like a mouse). Water Ballast, retractable gear, Not Automatic hookup but NO HOTELLIERS!! All Ad's complied with. Total time approx 1200hrs. Excellent condition. Comes with everything including trailer, rigging and ground handling gear. (no chute). We have dropped the price considerably so if you are interested email me off list. Now for the steak-knives. I have a Fischer TOP self launching pod that is now surplus to my needs. If you are looking for a self launcher, You might like to consider mounting this on the Speed Astir ?? The Speed Astir is not on the "list" of approved gliders, so it would be in experimental category if you wanted to go this way. Installation is basically the fitment of a couple of small f/glass bulkheads under the turtledeck, and some wiring. NOTE: the Top has never been fitted to this glider. You will need to install it!! As a package, we'd accept $30000 (no offers) for both aircraft and TOP. YOU WILL NOT FIND A CHEAPER SELF LAUNCHER.
