Sno·Bird

EVERY SERIOUS A/2 flier knows that he needs one glider in the box that can be counted on for those early morning and later afternoon rounds when thermal activity is light or even non-existent. Sno-Bird may not be a magic 3-min. model but it will deliver that extra performance under those light conditions when you most need it. Still-air glide tests on Sno-Bird clearly demonstrated the model was significantly better than any of my previous A/2 gliders. Built in the winter of 1974-75 for the upcoming World Championships in Plovdiv, the model was tested under clear winter skies, snow on the ground, air temperature around 40ºF and still as death.
