It's a fine ship. Pay attention to the comments about pre-buy inspections, though. Gren Siebels flew one for several years and he was 6'+. The E model is more comfortable yet. Personally, I wouldn't buy a 1-26 (yes, I have owned one). I have also owned a Skylark 4 (which I wish I still had) and ...

I'm looking for an inexpensive sailplane & see a few KA 6CR's for sale, all including enclosed trailer for around $7,000. A 1-26 would have been OK, but there aren't any right now. I'm not sure I'd fit in a KA 6 at 6'3" & over 200 lb. Also; how about maintaining a wooden sailplane? Does one need to...

Our club has recently purchased an electronic flight recorder (Cambridge 302) to be used by the membership in the various club ships. This is to replace the barograph which seems to be continuously out of certification, out of paper, not any good for tasks, etc, etc. The question has arisen about...

I recently got my PP-ASEL but I wanted to check out the possibility of getting some glider time. Any suggestions for getting some glider time in the Bay Area in Northern CA? Any helpful info appreciated, thanks

There has been a lot of criticism of the Directors on RAS. However, when you have a couple dozen well-meaning (but basically unqualified) persons on the Board, and you get in this type of situation, probably the problem is with the system rather than with the individuals. Put another two...

Hi, I was wondering if there are any insurers on this list? I fly with a university Gliding club and recently we had to re-insure our small fleet of three gliders. As most of you are aware, insurance represents a very significant chunck of glider/aircraft maintenance costs, and as is often the...

For sale: LNAV Version 5.8 with 80mm meter and 0.45l flask. I got the unit when I bought my new glider and do not need it since I already have an SN-10. Previous owner said unit works fine.
