Q: Bridle hooks for Blanik L13? by Roger Worden
Our club has Blanik L13's which we sometimes launch via auto tow. Can anyone point us to a source for the metal hooks that connect to the releases on the sides of the glider? We make our own bridles and are just in need of the hooks. Thanks. Roger

Podcasts? by Bullwinkle
There was a flurry of posts in the couple of weeks prior to the Convention about getting podcasts of sessions using cell phones. Can I assume by the silence since then that this did not come to fruition? Thanks, Bullwinkle
