I purchased an L-23 a few months back. I hope to fly soon. It's still tucked away in the trailer. I purchased three wing stands from Wing & Wheels to assist with assembly. Are there any tips out there to make the process go smoothly? I moved the wings around when we did the annual & they're...

After removing all the gelcoat, a friend recommended applying a very thin cloth known as Vail to fill most pinholes.

I see a tab on the OLC Plus, beside "Standard", for "Advanced" information. There is no indication of what that is, or why it would be worth subscribing (The Canadian Soaring Association already pays $1000CAD/yr to OLC). Does anyone have a screen shot of what that looks like, or a link that...
