I don't recall ever seeing an estimate of the performance loss in a glider as a function of yaw string deflection. Does anyone know what it is? Ultimately, I'm wondering how much attention should be paid to deflections of, say, 1/8", 1/4", 1/2", etc., on the usual 4"-5" long yaw string. I...

Any Jantar experts out there? What the difference between an SZD-48-1 and SZD? I don't really know that much about these aircraft. At the moment I'm trying to help resolve an issue with play in the ailerons on a glider that is suppost to be an SZD-48-1. One of the control rods has a lot of wear...
