No need to punch a bunch of holes in the lower wing skin. Paul Gaines (Gaines Sailplane-Composite Solutions) in Marietta, Georgia has a very skinny fiber-optic scope that will run the entire length of the wing. If you have need, call Paul at (770) 499 7755 Inspections are now in progress. GA

In a few weeks I'll take my check ride in an ASK21. All of my training to date has been in a G103. The examiner told me the ASK is a lot like the Grob just better. any advice? I'm a little concerned about taking my check ride in a glider I've never seen, but not overly concerned. The performance...

The FSG50 has 3 sets of connectors: 2 dedicated for Mike 1 for speaker (plus GND) 1 for PTT switch (plus GND) Is there anyway you can set the radio up to wire the PTT switch in series with the mike, and so not need

Where can I find information about the Eppler e662 airfoil. Specifically if adding winglets improves its performance. Secondly if the Grob 104 wing is structurally capable of supporting winglets. Thanks Dave

Last week at William's Octoberfest, we used some new tasking ideas; Contestants were told to pick ont turn-point from the Northern task area and on from the Southern task area. Start at Lutz lake with unlimited altitude, 2:00 Minimum Time and handicap the speeds. Great results with something like a...

Has anyone seen the winglet alternative that is a slotted tube that goes on the wing tip? I can't remember the name (Minix?) or what site I saw it on. I believe its being tested in France and the designer made pretty impressive claims. I was wondering what you winglet designers think. Mike ASW15

Several people have had good luck towing a glider with a Subaru Forester. I do not know why mine is different. I just bought a 2004 Forester tried to tow with it. Mine is a nightmare. It is unstable above 50mph. It has a lot of side to side sway above 50mph if there is any steering input. It is...

I would appreciate if you can write a SHORT paragraph about why soaring (and soaring competition if that is what you do) is so special to you. Why do you I enjoy soaring because it is for me the most interesting form of aviation. The idea of flying for hours using only the lift provided by...

Recetenly I acquired a decomissioned (no nameplate) Miller Tern when I bought a sailplane trailer several months back. One way or the other I need to get rid of this aircraft. If possible I would like to see it either in a museum or if somebody needs parts I would gladly let them have what they...

Hi, We are looking for a used prop for a Vivat Motorglider. The current prop was a Hoffman V218B fitted to the Walter Mikron Engine. We are looking for this same prop or similar.

Hi All, Took my first flight in a glider last week and had a blast. I want to do it again and learn more about soaring. I'm a quadraplegic but the organization "Freedoms Wings" in PA, USA has specially equipped gliders. I've attached a pic (hope it makes it) and was wondering if someone can tell me...

Several weeks ago (maybe months ago) Doug sent me some pictures of his unique flap and gear actuation systems. http://www.soaridaho.com/Schreder/RS-15/N5724/RS-15_Systems.htm Does anyone recognize the source of flap screw jack drive or the gear drive? Wayne
