The white 2-33 is not quite ready to fly...needs annual squawks addressed. The CallAir tow plane is fully operational. Thanks, Tim and Landon.
The red 2-33's electrical wiring issue has been repaired.
The green 1-26’s wheel brake installation and control cable connections remain the primary tasks for this bird.
Gary S. mounted the plexiglass canopy to the frame. Looks great! Thanks, Gary.
Vic confirmed...he will be available Sunday only
No instructors will be available on Saturday. No other instructors are currently available.
Sheryl is available to assist you with questions and taking care of HSC business. Text Sheryl at (512) 964-9707.
When you are on the runway...keep the glider radio on or have a hand-held radio on so you can monitor and advise the traffic in the pattern that you are on the runway.
If an equipment issue develops, push the glider off the active, so other pilots can use the runway.
Tows are available both Saturday and Sunday. However, instruction will be available ONLY on Sunday.
South flow both days.

The Hamilton Soaring Club took to the skies in 2016 at the local airport in Hamilton, TX. Since then, we have welcomed more members, added aircraft, and refined our operations.
Our club is home to glider pilots with amazing stories to share, aspiring pilots in training, and private pilots eager to experience the thrill of flying engine-less.
Gliding is an exhilarating way to learn the basics of flight, relying on thermals and piloting skill to soar through the skies. We primarily use aero-tow and occasionally use auto tow.
If you have never experienced gliding before, join us for a discovery flight and bring friends along for a memorable day at the airport.
Jim Callaway was truly the heartbeat of our club. His passion for soaring was unmatched, and he generously shared his knowledge with all of us. As a founding member, he played a pivotal role in shaping the Hamilton Soaring Club.
