Booster Concepts
We want to strengthen the national and international gliding community in the long term with these measures
Broadening the horizon for juniors
The primary goal is to promote juniors in competition and high-performance cross-country gliding. The aim is to broaden the horizons of young talents by providing a high-performance glider in the open class. The sponsored pilots are to be given the opportunity to take part in training measures, national and international competitions and the DMSt.
The 'EP' promotional gliders were the result of a generous donation by Countess Lady Enid Paget, who sold her Nimbus 2 promotional glider in 1984 and purchased an LS4 for the 'EP' concept. The LS4 became a Discus which in turn became a Nimbus 4. The promotional aircraft were operated by a former German Booster Club Association and the national German aeroclub DAeC. From 2025, the promotional aircraft will continue to be operated in the form of a Nimbus 4T by the Förderverein Segelflug e.V.
Platform
In the past, the website 'segelflug.de' was the most important information platform for glider pilots, where a wealth of information about our sport was collected. It is also the aim of the association to rebuild this important component for us.
The foundation stone for this has been laid, but we ask for your understanding that we run the platform on a voluntary basis. It will therefore take some time before we can add new content bit by bit. At the same time, we would like to encourage you to support us in building this platform. If you have ideas for important content, please contact us!
Classifieds
The classifieds of Segelflug.de are established in the international gliding community as the most active marketplace for the sale of gliders and accessories and are used intensively. The activation, monitoring and quality assurance of the classifieds will continue to be done by a proven team that has provided this great service on Segelflug.de for many years.
For private sellers and clubs an ad in the classifieds is still free of charge. For a fee you still have the possibility to make your ad a premium ad. If the sale of the aircraft or items you are offering has a commercial character, you will have to pay a fee for placing the ad.
