Just wondering why glider are not made with pre-preg. Seems like it would save weight.

Is there a small streamlined self contained ( 9 volt or AA battery powered) strobe out there on the market that is about the size of a wingtip running light? Thanks, Steve

This has been a problem since late this summer. Asymmetric and or slow dumping. After having the valves open today for (guessing) 20+ minutes (to be sure it was dry) I landed to find the wings with significant water (10-15 gallons a side) still on-board. Water flows thru the outboard panels so...

Please post your suggestions. I need something warm but not too bulky. Andrzej

I came across the home page of Kerry Cover in China, www.kerry-cover.com They offer all weather covers for a quite interesting rate. I wonder if someone has been in business contact with them and is willing to share his experiences re. quality, delivery time, etc. Thanks, -- Peter Scholz

Hello All, A friend and I are thinking of a soaring vacation in Utah around the third week of June. I have a self launcher but he needs tows. I've flown at Parowan, Nephi, and Logan. Can anyone tell us where there are full time tows available in Utah in June? Of course, we'll need...

At sunrise on 17 February, we are planning on launching in the Duo Discus glider from Minden at sunrise and aiming for Rapid City, SD as our goal, a distance of over 933 miles. Below is a link to the map with our position updates every 5 minutes. If you'd like to see the details of our position,...

Hi, I need help finding a canopy for a special project. It doesn't need to fit any particular glider design, but we are looking for something as small as possible. New or used. I just learned of the unfortunate passing of Todd who apparently supplied the majority of canopies, and the owner of...

Hi everybody. My turbo engine on Ventus goes out really slow. (new battery, new pneumatic gas strut). The thing is that the red light is ON all the time on Ilec instrument when in transit. I also disconnected the spindle drive, and it was the same thing also if engine was not attached to it. Now...

Looking for tow hook for C-182 (hook and installation manual) http://www.wingsunlimitedtowhooks.com is down, so - and info will be usefull. Thanks Alexey

Dan's post unfortunately didn't start a new thread as intended. Since we intentionally fly close to them, most alerts are from other gliders. I find audible alerts of mode C or S equipped gliders sharing a thermal to be "noise". For me, an audible alert marks the only time to look at the traffic...

Was on LAK's web site and I see they have a 26 meter two place. Was wondering if anyone had experience with this glider, how it flies, performance compared to ASH-25 ??

Hello, I am interested on purchasing one Test TST 8 DM Alpin motorglider, there are not so much information about this model in internet, can any one help me with it´s comments or experience on this model?, thanks a lot. Regards. Pedro Molina

My club is doing well and growing but our set up is not great for socializing. I think it would be nice if there were a few more excuses for people to hang out after flying to further build friendships. We just moved from another airport that had no good club house or club space other than the...

I'm gearing up to make a couple sets of water ballast release valves for HP-24 kits, and I'm curious if there might be any interest in them as retrofits for other gliders. I've seen some really goofy setups where you have to manually connect hoses inside the fuselage, with awkward arrangements of...
