Mark Navarre
Any pilots in the US care to offer their experience of insurance rate changes
after a glider accident settlement (less than total loss)? I am looking at a

my ASW-20. While I expected a rate hike, this seems a bit...

Using Plasma Rope For Winch Tows by
Craig Freeman
We recently converted from 3/16 7x9 cable to 3/16 plasma rope on our winch.
"Plasma", made from Honeywell "Spectra" fiber, seems to have some real

Wench launching (sic) by

As described in the new FAA Glider Flying Handbook page 7-14.
There's even an illustration. She must be pretty small, I can't
really see her in the glider.
