Glider Assembly / Tow Plane Relocation

[Jarrett Steiwig]

All,

I was hoping that this Saturday 3/8/2028 would be favorable to doing some glider operations. The weather is calling for freezing temperatures and snow so Saturday is out. 

Sunday looks better if anyone is available to help out. I am available Sunday afternoon. 

Things that we need to accomplish over the next few weekends to get ready for soaring season are:

1. Assemble the 2-33 that Bill Fisher has in Plainview so that we can start flying it and get some hours on it. It currently is in annual and is ready to have the wings attached.

2. Move the Scout and supporting equipment over to Plainview to tow the glider that we currently have in annual. 

3. Move one or more of the dollies so that we can move the 2-33 currently in Plainview in and out of the hangar while it is assembled.

4. Bill Fitzgerald has been working a lot on getting the Pawnee ready to fly again. It has to have a dye penetration test done on the wing attach points. After that we should be close to having two tow planes flying again.

I agree - Saturday looks like a wouldn’t work out very well Sunday afternoon looks good. I already moved two Dollys from Littlefield to Plainview along with a tow rope and some ground handling hooks. We will need some wings stands for the glider over in Plainview.

All,

With the weather, several people being under the weather let’s push the glider assembly and tow plane relocation to a better day.
