Southern Tablelands GC has two Blaniks one with and one without the Llewelyn mods. Both have been thoroughly inspected and the wing spars are OK. We are waiting on word from LET via the GFA which would allow the unmodified Blanik back into service. Failing that we will be looking for another two seater. I fear the market price of second hand two seaters has probably already risen significantly! cheers, Ken _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [email protected] To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
