If you had your choice of second hand, folding wing, motor gliders.
Which one would you chose?
I'm trying to figure out if I'd use it, if I had to put the wings on every time I wanted to go fly it.
Or would I just grab something else, and go.
But between the Fournier RF-9, Grob 109, Diamond H-36, Valentin Taifun, what would be your choice.
Any others?

The last time I flew into Sandown was in a Cherokee 140 in the 1970s.
The landing fees were 2 quid.
The planes were 25 and hour and the instructor was 3.

If I had to pay what you do for touch and go fees, it'd would cost me more than fuel for my planes.
How can you pay a six Pound 'touch and go' fee, when it's a 'touch and gone'?

140 Pounds to land a Microlight at Glasgow?
Sell up, pack your bags and come to America.
