Has anyone replaced the "sidewall seal" on a Cobra trailer? This is rubber gasket that runs along the top of the trailer's bottom half side walls and seals it to upper trailer shell. There is also the identical gasket at the front of the trailer which seems much difficult to access short of...

Two with sun-shades added by Rob Dunning, to avoid lock-up of finger-sensors. All working as far as I know. Make me an offer offline if interested, otherwise I'll put them on eBay...

I need to replace a rivet on my canopy latch on my LS-6. It is a DIN 7338 type B (semi tubular) 6mm diameter, with 15mm length from the drawing and emailing from DG. Its the rivet that handle pivots on when pushing the aft latch pin backwards. I think I can replace it with a bolt/washer/nut...

Does anyone in the US have an E Box for a SOLO 2625 available? Thanks 803-374-7400

Since we've had favorites, how about bad ones? Someone mentioned Top Gun.Â* I thought that was horrible.Â* Yeah, there was eye candy for both of the only two real genders, and there were a bunch of great shots of aircraft, but the story line was total crap. So for one of my favorite bad...

You can download most Condor sim landscapes at skylinescondor.com/landscapes. Condor Club has a nice Condor Updater service that we recommend if you have a premium membership. If you don't want the premium membership it can be very slow to unusable, disconnects you often, etc. Or maybe you...

Dose anyone have an extra window? I have the rails.

No mention of this in the manual and I put a call in to EDMO, but don't know when they'll get back to me. Sometime after a freq change in flight today, I realized the screen went to UNLOCK. Any idea what to do?

It's available from Cumulus Soaring. That's where I got my copy. I also picked up Dawn Flight at the Little Rock Convention from them. Mark

Since the start of our club three years ago we have been looking at the possibility of buying a new club ship. We are looking at the ASK21 and the DG1001. Funding has always been difficult, in this small start up environment it is almost impossible to obtain the amount of monies necessary to pull...

Has anyone noticed the trend lately on price for a SGS 1-26? The prices seem to be going through the roof! Most of the recent offerings on W&W are over $8K, and many $10K+. I get that many have had a lot of hours put in restoring them and updating instruments, but really... Just a year or two...

I need to get my flight review. Anybody knows who is presently operating? Since I live in southeastern part of Washington state I am willing to travel. Regards.

Favored sailplane for 15 meter Club Class contests with the wing incidence factory mod. Spacious cockpit for larger pilots. Good factory support from US dealer or Schempp-Hirth in Germany. 1972. 667 hours total time. Annual Feb 2020. Always hangared or in Eberle Trailer since I acquired it in...

Friends: I thought that it would be interesting to start a discussion on whether the FAI and different countries should begin to recognize 18 meters as a separate category for distance and speed records. The class has become very popular, even more popular than was the 15m class when those were ...

Question: Is it possible to tint a canopy like a car, for example, using automotive window tinting material? I know some canopies are tinted a bluish color, but what about a dark black tint? Thanks,

Does anyone know someone in Florida going home to Michigan or close, who could tow a glider back for us. (Sandhill Soaring) THANKS Glen
