Re: Wasserkuppe Trip.
It's pretty much the best place in the world for a glider modellers.
The museum has to been seen in all its glory. Allow at least half a day for it. The main full size site is very close to the museum. Watch out for the tow lines which the tugs drop as they pass over the start line.
The model flying sites are a bit more remote and depend on wind direction but always a pleasant walk.

The Schleicher glider factory is also close. In the past used to have factory tours. Not sure if that is still the case.
I had one when they still made the ply timber gliders like the K6E

Surprise, surprise. A very good friend of mine, Peter Ocker, has now taken over the lead position at the Wasserkuppe. I am sure he will help you. Let me know by PM if you want his email

Re: Wasserkuppe Trip.
Anthony you do wonder how visitors upset their hosts. We got a fantastic tour by the then chief man Weibel for over 2 hours and shown everything including an ASW 22 wing being released from the mould. It was some time ago (1993). The only rule was NO photography for obvious reasons. Anyway enjoy your holiday at the Home of gliding.Anthony wrote: ↑01 Aug 2018, 10:57 Just recieved an email from Ulrich at the Schleicher factory..... they are shut for the Summer.... Bummer.
He goes on to tell me that they no longer do public tours because of “past bad experience”.....makes you wonder what kind of bad experiences they have encountered.
