Over the weekend I had a look at the quality of the airspace file for the WGC in Uvalde. And I must say, my airspace file check program was not impressed. The open air file is not self-consistent.

I could not find anything relevant on the 1-26 Association's website, and my Google-foo fails me. I recently flew a rental SGS 1-26C and I'm wondering if anyone can offer information regarding left-right play in the stick. Is this normal, dangerous, fixable? Measuring at the top of the stick in...

To follow up on Uncle Fuzzy's design I modified the ramp on my Pfiefer tube trailer from the early 80's. Images at: http://picasaweb.google.com/TTaylor07/TrailerJack I used four wheels rather than two for a little more surface area. On real soft ground you could carry two 12"x12" pieces of...

Many years ago I saw a picture of a fuselage dolly that had an over center mechanism to raise and lower the glider. I believe it was on two place glider. The wheels stayed in place on the ramp and the fuselage went up and down about four inches. Anyone have a link to the photo or know the...

How do these compare? Not performance wise (no ambition to fly comps and still a beginner at ca 100 hours) though specs seem close for ls8 in 15m config but in all other aspects. Price difference makes me wonder which way to go... Has anyone flown, owned both? S
