Aircraft and Documentation

Our Fleet

_We currently have 2 primary two-place trainers (2 SGS 2-33), one advanced two-place  trainer (ASK-21), one single seat glider (SGS 1-26D), and one Piper Pawnee towplane. Thanks to a donation from one of our members, we also have a volkslogger available. Below are pictures and information on the planes. PLEASE NOTE: the information provided is for curiosity only and not necessarily current or for our specific planes. ALWAYS CONSULT THE OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS IN THE AIRCRAFT PRIOR TO FLIGHT.

ASK-21 

Picture
New from the factory in November, 2010 ASK-21 Tail Number 747SV...What a beauty!  We do "Cloud-9" Sightseeing Rides with this plane.  It's superior glide ratio all fiberglass construction make it a popular choice.  Here's a new page for the ASK-21.

There are a number of documents for getting familiar with the aircraft. POH, a pre-solo quiz, the type certificate data sheet, a cockpit guide, a checklist, and weight and balance. Please review the technote for additional updates to the manual and before attempting spins.


SGS 2-33

Picture
SVS owns three SGS 2-33 gliders. These gliders are used for "Classic" Sightseeing Rides and training students.  Want to learn to fly?  This is where you start!  POH-2, POH, Loading envelope for 3619T


SGS 1-26D

Picture
This is our single seat glider used by club members to polish their soaring skills.  Sleek as it looks it is still classified as a primary trainer so students are able to "graduate" to it relatively quickly after their solo flight.  POH 


Piper Pawnee 235

Picture

This is our "tug" (our Tow Plane).  In a former life it was a crop duster.  Notice the long nose?  Most of that is not engine but an empty hopper where spray mixtures were carried.
