Took a while, but we finally got the wings (and struts) re-painted. This time, the club jobbed it out to a pro... a very nice job, and as part of the deal, we got the painter's 13-yr-old son, Cameron, as a new member. Gus gave him his first lesson Saturday, after the first test flights, and based on his performance, he's sure to be ready to solo by his 14th birthday. The club even splurged on a new cover... Andy's home-made one had done well for two winters, but it was time to replace it.
Here's ol' "Granmaw", looking much younger... with one of her oldest friends, and her newest.
It's hard to believe it's the same glider I started out in a couple of years ago. All she needs now is a good wash'n'wax, although it's hard to tell how dirty the fuselage is in this photo.
