Older glass glider refinishing question by
Gus Rasch
Group,
I am considering the purchase of an older glass bird in my local area.
It has sat for quite a while and the finish is not the best.
Specifically, someone shot Imron over the original gelcoat at some
point in the past. (rather than take it down and refinish it
correctly.) The Imron is now...

Does anyone know what years the LS6C was produced?
Is the C the only LS6 with automatic hook ups or did the B have them also?

Vans RV-G glider by
Mark James Boyd
Hmmm....
I was wondering if metal gliders have an L/D disadvantage
due to the metal, or because of the lousy rivets and
poor wing airfoil and draggy struts (of the SGS gliders,
for example).
Is it possible to make a retract gear metal glider with
flush rivets and a carry-through spar which would...

Newbie question by
Bill Gribble
Completely daft newbie question that I'm hoping will have a simple
answer.
Mention is frequently made of the term L/D, which I know is an
abbreviation of Lift / Drag. For example, the L/D cited in an advert for
a Ka6 recently was "L/d 33"

a burned throughj elevator cable, two of us tow pilots experimented

Winch Way Is Up !! by
Craig Freeman
It's intriguing how much attention any post about winch launching seems to
generate here on RAS. I must admit I, like most here in the USA, cried
"foul" or was it"fool" any time one would suggest that winching could be
a viable alternative to the much perferred aero tow. Shame on me. Perhaps
it's...
