CISS has purchased another single-seat sailplane for members' use: an Astir CS 77. It's currently at Grob in Bluffton, Ohio getting a thorough checkup.
This sailplane has considerably higher performance than the PW-5. Now we'll be able to ease pilots into cross-country flying by having them team fly with the rest of the Knotts Field Irregulars in a way that just wasn't feasible before. This sailplane, unlike the PW-5, will be perfectly capable of keeping up with the other standard class ships.
Some pictures follow.
