I'm looking to replace the carpetting used as protection to the
various glider parts in my Cobra Trailer and have not yet been able to
find a close match. Can anyone suggest a merchant or site I could
try .
Thanks ,

[email protected]
What an outstanding result in the World 18 M championships for this
glider . No less than four JS -1 's in the top 10 finishers at
Szeged . CONGRATULATIONS to the two South African Jonker brothers for
their high placings and their success in designing and producing this
"no excuses" racing...

New SSA Website - No News by
ZASoars
The New Website looks good BUT contest reporting continues to be very poor.
No news on Region 6 since last Sunday ( a whole week) and no updates from the
Open /18 m Nationals since Thursday .SSA members deserve better form the "New "
website .

Amazing facts by
ZASoars
Doug ,
It's a thought that many glider pilots have flown sailplanes the equivalent of
many times around the earth during their soaring careeers ( engineless).
I have a mere 3000+ hours and that includes about 85000miles cross-country ( or
more than 2 times around the world).
There are as you know...

More on the Sierra Wave by
ZASoars
Firstly WELL DONE KEMPTON .
For anyone that has access to some ancient SOARING magazines there is a
fantastic photo which was taken by Bob Symons of just the kind of conditions
John Cochrane describes and Kempton must have encountered . Look it up --
Soaring Magazine May 1976 , page 45 .
Enjoy...

Microaire by
ZASoars
I have had excellent performance from a Microaire for the past 4 years in my
glider . I frequently talk to other gliders 200 miles away with good
transmissions reported and clear reception .

Lx Eos vario by
Zaphod Beeblebrox[_2_]
Anyone here had much experience with the Lx Eos vario? I'm thinking about
swapping out the old faithful CAi 302 and popping in the Eos alongside the
powerflarm and Oudie.

Glider Graphics by
Zahradnik
At the 2004 regionals at Parawon, I briefly saw a self launching glider
with really attractive graphics down the side of the fuselage. I don't
think that the pilot was entered in the contest, but he launched with
the grid one day.
Does anyone:
Know this glider?
Know how to contact the owner?

It takes money, not signatures.

Soaring in north Italy by
Yuval S
Hi,
We are going for a family vacation in northern Italy
(around lake Como and Toscaney) on the beginning of
October.
I am looking for a place that I can get some nice soaring
and maybe seaplane flights.
Tips anyone?
Thanx,
