The most visible glider in the sky (when you want to be seen) Equipment Hohloch electric bug wipers, one-touch operation, never had an issue (better than Laminar Aerotec IMO). BWS bug wipers also included Custom-made Carbon-Aero TE probe Carbon Aero wing wheels (plus spares) 3x batteries on a 3-switch and diode setup, the best electrical system I've ever had in a glider: turn on and forget. 2x 10Ah LiFePO4 new this year plus a 6Ah lead acid in the tail (good tail ballast too) Upgraded SH water tank caps (originals included) Brand new 2024 fully aerobatic Schroth straps, never used (still have the current on condition Schroth straps fitted right now) Parachute, negotiable. Circa 2004 Thomas Pop Top. repacked this year (not by Tim Moran..) Trailer and ground kit Cobra fibreglass shell top. Trailer recently fully serviced: new tyres, brakes and hitch (full ALKO with friction pads), Internal LED lighting wired to run off battery or car, with an external LED spot light for night derigs, has Cobra underneath storage tray. Tows amazingly! IMI wing stands (nothing beats them) 2x super fast water pumps with batteries and 6x barrels Heavy duty tow-out gear plus a small low -profile wing wheel: allows water filling while fitted, stops the wing switching in the wind like others do, takes up hardly any storage and fits perfectly 2-year-old Vertigo covers with full hail protection, designed so the tanks can be filled with the covers on and with easy access to the cockpit A host of other ancillary spares available on negotiation. Overall this glider has had nearly £15,000 in upgrades in the last 3 years, making it one of the best V2a(x) in the world! Based on Lasham. Viewing welcome. Available end of season.
