Hi All,

Can anyone help me with a profile of a Slingsby T.21 glider?

Many thanks

Two weeks ago I had the chance to fly a T.21, it was truly amazing.

Although I had already flown open cockpit (SV.4) this is completely different.

Very different from the Blaniks I usually fly. :rolleyes:

Once fitted a 35hp two stroke with a pusher prop to a T21 as a project and though after several weeks of testing it prove to be too unwieldy to enter club service, as a private venture though it proved to be great fun and had the capacity to self launch with care, totally enjoyed the whole project and was sad to have to make the decision to return it too standard configuration for club use again.

Mr. Tipsy,

In the book “Slingsby Sailplanes” by Martin Simmons (page 110; ISBN 1-85310-732-8) you’ll find what you’re looking for.
