The Schweizer SGS 1-26 is a United Sates One Design, single-seat, mid-wing glider built by Schweizer Aircraft of Elmira, NY. The SGS 1-26 enjoyed a very long production run from its first flight in 1954 until 1979, when production was ended. The 1-26 is the most numerous sailplane found in the US. The 1-26 is used by many soaring clubs in the United States and is often the first single place glider that a student flies after solo. |

The PW-5 is an example of the modern, single-place fiberglass sailplanes now available. A lightweight, easy to fly aircraft, the PW-5 delivers excellent climb performance, good glide performance, and nimble handling. With light control forces that give it a sports-car feel, the PW-5 is the type of machine that is a blast to wrap into tight thermals. |
MEMBERS AREA |
The Lowcountry Soaring Association, LSA, was establised in 1990 by a group of local soaring enthusiasts. We have three club owned gliders and a tow plane for aero launch. Based at the Ridgeland, SC, Airport, 3J1, we fly every weekend when weather allows. |
Piper Pawnee Tow Plane |
Club sailplanes are towed into the air behind Piper Pawnee towplane N11FU, a 235hp Piper PA-25. Over the winter of 2004/2005, club volunteers refurbished and recovered the Pawnee. In honor of club president and towpilot George Farnsworth, the cockpit was stenciled with "Captain G. Farnsworth" and adorned with the silhouette of a Nazi tank that George destroyed when he was a P-38 fighter pilot in North Africa. |
