After a total rebuild of our club 233 we are nearing completion and will be adding this old bird back on the line as our primary trainer. Take a look at the Soaring Forum and you can see the pictures of our nearly completed project. The name Sky Hag will be painted just below the pirate skull.

Is "Sky Hag" the best name to attract newcomers? How about "Tutor" or "Purest"?

We also have SF, XZ, P1 and many more. We are in the process of expanding our hangar space from about 5 thousand sq feet to 30 thousand sq feet hopefully this year. Our club has grown and we have continued to thrive. This tear we will be hosting our second Soaring Safari, which is a month long fun fly during the month of March. This event is nothing like the Geritol Championships up at Seminole Lake GP, we do large triangles and have a great time..

Pirate? Tutor is "a private teacher, typically one who teaches a single student or a very
small group"; Purest is "superlative adjective of Pure", and as a Purist, you know about
Pure. Right?

Very cognizant of the superlative adjectives, but we have to put a bit of sparkle in the name. Yes, I know all about being a purist, us purist are the best of the best, as they say in the movies. The old 233 is looking great, I even offered a motorglider guy the first hop, it would really make him look good. Old Bob, The Purist

Beautiful work. Great to see other clubs taking on big projects. Curious what you found in the way of corrosion in the tubing, especially in the lower tubes and the main cluster in the gear area.

Hard to believe that our 2-33 project (The Mad Cow) is already 10 years old..

Papa3, I did a considerable amount of work in restoring this old girl, and the corrosion was not a problem but somewhere in the life of the Hag she was ground looped and some of the tubing was bent. We sent the fuselage back to K&L where it was put in the jig and brought back to new specs. I then had the fuselage media blasted and the entire fuselage powder coated, probably the only powder coated 233 fuselage in the world. I then started the fabric covering with ceconite and completed with the Stits system. During this ordeal I stripped the wings, did some cosmetic repairs and went ahead with the prime and paint. At this point we are finishing with the trimming and installation of the new interior and getting ready to assemble for the journey to the finish line. I am working on a video of this restoration project and will be posting as soon as the HAG is completed.
I have extended an offer to "R", so he could be our guest and be one of the first to fly the "HAG", I told him the "HAG", would even make him look good! I fully expect "R", to motorglide on up to X52 and join the celebration for the flying "HAG".
We also have an LS3 A that is nearing completion and only lacking a canopy, so if anyone has a canopy for an LS3 please let me know. I will be posting more pictures in the Soaring Group page soon. Thanks for taking a look at the "HAG", we will be happy to have the old girl back in the sky training new glider pilots both young and old. Old Bob, The Purist

I still think my last suggestion of "Treasure Chest" is a better name, Bob.
That 2-33 sure does look beautiful. Nice job on the resto. I would love to fly that beauty, whatever the name!

Safe Landings,
