Waikerie Gliding Club's fleet allows glider pilots a wide choice. The club cross hires some gliders from their owners. The prices for booking are on the Sailplane Hire page. All our gliders have: Soaring instruments - most of our gliders are fitted with audio vario and speed director. Many of the gliders have glide computers, some have flight loggers. Basic flying instruments (of course!) - airspeed indicator, altimeter, compass VHF air band radio Ground handling gear, canopy cover Our fleet allows for pilots of any experience level News, 31 August 2008: The club's AS K21 is now flying at Waikerie. This is the glider that our new pilots will fly until they go solo. It will also be used for check flights, cross country and some advanced training. A high performance two seater, the lovely Duo Discus, is once more available to pilots with enough experience. Usually, the first single seater our students fly is the LS-4. This glider is also suitable for early cross country flights, and then new pilots can move on to the more advanced single seaters. Experience requirements for our gliders are on the Sailplane hire page. Seasoned cross country pilots will appreciate the Discus b, LS-4a, and LS-7. The LS-4 has an L-Nav flight computer, while the LS-7 and Mosquito are fitted with GPS and Borgelt B-100 flight computers. These aren't hard to use: see the page about getting started with the B-100. Our tug is a Piper Pawnee.
