Hi Fellas,
I want to sell my Eagle 180, made in 2003. I'm the second owner. The glider has seen about 100 hours of airtime, is in really good shape and flies great, nothing wrong with it.
It comes with a brand-new spare set of downtubes, basetube, side wires and more stuff including a new nose-cone and some spare battens.
Asking $1400, negotiable.
I will if I succeed to sell this one. I was thinking either a Laminar Z8 or the new Litespeed. Have to testfly them and see how they make out at the secondary LZ of the Pulpit :p
Hmmmmm. I am not your mother, but you might consider going with a high-performance kingposted and easy-to-land glider like a U2 before going topless right away. The book on Litespeed is that it will smack you if you misjudge the flare by even a little bit. (They are also - despite the name - heavy! A true example of the overused "oxymoron".) Even with intermediate gliders like U2 or Discus, be wary of slipping turns close to the ground on approach - you can develop a lot of speed (down) in a hurry. My two cents worth. - Hugh
Ooops, wires are running hot not because anybody wants to buy my glider, no it's because I made a joke about buying a topless. I guess all this is going to be great advertisement for my glider. Listen up everybody, I am not going to buy a topless, not now, not in 10 years. It was a joke. I thought my little remark of the secondary LZ and :p made that clear.
Wow, you guys actually do think I'm a demented idiot. I'm quite shocked! LOL
Ya gotta put the smilies in so I know its a joke. Ya gotta be crazy to do this stuff at all - we should all sit home and watch TV while our arteries clog like normal people - so how am I to distinguish crazy-crazy from highly-astute-and-responsible-crazy who is making a subtle joke? - Hugh
You weren't the only one, Hugh. From all the messages I got asking me to intervene and save Janni's soul it seems I'm one of the few who thought it was most likely a joke.

nice gotcha !
indeed - very nicely done.
(i told ya he was too big to mess with! ) - (big, apparently, in a number of ways )
BTW, I really appreciate how you all were concerned about my (mental) well-being, I really do. This is a great community and it's a lot of fun to be part of it. Thanks guys.
Rats! You mean this was a joke? I had a Stealth 3 lined up for you. It was comp and aerobatic tuned and the slipperiest, wing walking yaw-iest glider ever made. Perfect for you.
Ha HA Ha , ah shit!
Janni, just keep your fat ass in check, don't be stuffin no chocolate double dipped eclairs down you neck before you go to bed, and
Fly that fuckin eagle for a while......
It'll do just fine for ya.
