Hi, I have a question for motorglider owners. I sell variometers and TE probes but I'm still learning. A customer is building a Europa motorglider and he is wondering if he can mount a TE probe on the fin and connect it to the variometer, or will the propwash cause problems. Is it necessary to...

We are looking to add a hangar to the airport and wordered what others have figured out for the "optimum" length/width/height (door clearance) for a hangar that would hold a combination of 15m and 17m gliders (6 or more).

Just curious if anyone out there has built a nice tail dolly for an L-23. We now have 3 L-23s and our hanger is 2500 ft from our base of operations. Sure would be nice to rearward tow an L-23 w/ a wing wheel and tow bar from the hanger rather than using a rope and a wing walker. Existing...

It is a power plane (has one of those fuel to noise converters) so please forgive. The cowl is wide and the center...

Whats the highest houred Ls1F about, only interested in the 1F ,no other variants. Looking at life extension beyond the current 6000hrs

I'm trying to determine if any of my glider cross-country time can be applied to the commercial single engine aeronautical experience requirements. FAR 61.129 says "50 hours of cross-country flight of which at least 10 hours must be in airplanes". FAR 61.1 defines cross country time as, among...
