| Subject: | Re: Motorglider Wings? |
I had an hour soaring yesterday which was classic gliding day in the UK. A couple
of 5 Knot average climbs up to 5000 ft, I could have done a lot more if I
had gone earlier. My main concern is not having a one piece canopy. Visibility
is not good enough to join other gliders which I find limiting. The short fuselage,
large powerful all flying tail plane and long wing make tight circling
hard work as it is easy to get large attitude changes. I am still learning, I
have only done 50km engine off so far, but much more is possible. I have only
just fitted an audio vario, flight computer, and O2 system to go wave flying in
Wales. So looking forward to that.

I've a particular interest in using my Europa to visit UK seaside or island locations
with good facilities. So given its combination of location and facilities,
the location below is a firm candidate (20/night under-wing camping with
full use of club facilities and restaurant on-site/close to the sea - or 100/night
for a room).
Wondered if anyone has visited Roserrow in a Monowheel? The RWY is apparently
only 420M, has a road at the end of it and is reported to be 'a bit bumpy'.
If you have visited. could you elucidate?

Hello Clive,
I visited Roserrow last year for the first time. I landed on runway 25 and didn't
find it particularly challenging but I operate out of WestonZoyland which
has similar length runways. I was able to pull up long before the roadway which
I took a look at before I left, I wouldn't recommend going over it but I've
probably encountered worse so it may be OK at slow speed but best avoided. To
my surprise there was another mono on the strip when I departed which conforms
it's suitability.
Landing on 07 may be a bit more challenging as there is a valley on the approach
so the ground is rising, I think you will have to be quite accurate on touchdown,
maybe others have done it and care to comment. The farm buildings you see
on the left of the picture are on the other side of the valley.
The club was very accommodating, fees are reasonable and the walk to Polzeath enjoyable.
I can't wait to go back again.
