Subject: [Aus-soaring] In defence of the Puchatek. Oi! Derek! Leave the Puchatek alone. Admittedly it's not exactly 18 or more metres of sexed-up glassfibre and LCDs, however it's still an honest training platform and forgiving in the sweaty mitts of an ab-initio pilot. I did a bit of instructing in the Keepit Puchatek, so I'm unashamedly biased... MP.

It's probably more of an indictment of the aircraft they used for training. I presume it was the puke-a-tech at lake Keepit
