If you are one of those clubs affected by the grounding of your Blanik I have another option for you. One of the home/hangar owners on Narromine Airfield has decided to sell their 1977 Grob Twin Astir including a fully enclosed trailer and one man rigging equipment.
They are only asking for $32,000 for the complete package including a full set of Jaxida covers, dual instrumentation, and the trailer. I think it represents great value for any gliding club wanting to get their training back on line. I have listed the details below as they have been given to me and have photos also. Please contact me off list to express your interest and I will send you the full specification and photos. Thanks, ROSS Grob Twin Astir (retractable gear) VH-GDL Year of manufacture: 1977 S/N: 3028 Total hours: 2292 Total landings: 2717 Both the winch (belly) and aero-tow (nose) hook have been overhauled at TOST (Germany) in January 2001 (EASA Form one available) to new condition. Since then a total of 575 launches have been made. Winch: 419 Aero-tow: 156. Glider imported from Europe in 2008 and entered in the Australian Civil Aircraft Register in 2009.
