Trying to order a 600 x 6 Tube for the main tire on a Grob 103 Twin II, and need to know which tube I need to order (which valve is used? ) There are several different types? http://wingsandwheels.com/aircraft-parts/tubes.html These are the valve variations: TR-87 short valve bent out 90...

The Perlan Project (www.perlanproject.com) has need for a small drogue chute for testing the tail chute deployment and release systems of the Perlan glider. We are looking for a drogue chute similar to that used by an ASW 12, Nimbus 2, or Libelle. If you have such a chute that you would be willing...

Sorry guys, can't find the answer via search, but what is a parallelogram stick?

All my training in a G103. Looking for a decent glass ship under $20k. Looking seriously at 15b or Jantar Std 2 or Standard 41a. Any big differences between the Jantar choices? I get that the 15b will likely climb better in weak lift but the Jantars will dust the 15b when XC. I am 6'1" and have...

MAKING 50,000 DOLLARS IN 20 days This is NO joke….. A while back, I was browsing these newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00 plus stamps! So I thought, "Yeah,...

Gidday Everybody: Team EY - now team TM for the Grand prix - is on the ground and ready to get racing in New Zealand. Unfortunately, we are all waiting on weather. Today (Monday Dec 17), the first practice day has been cancelled without anyone even gridding up. We have 18 of the best pilots in...

I am finding the summer heat to be quite difficult to manage in the southwestern USA. At the moment I have just been shoving a water bottle in my pocket but this proves to be somewhat uncomfortable and more of a pain in the rear to remove and use which makes me not drink as much as I maybe should....

Hi, while putting together our flying club histoire, I tracked one of our old Blaniks to have been sold to form. Yugoslavia back in 1992, tracing it forwards to Slovenia where it was registered under S5-7108. It'd be nice to hear if it still exists and/or what happened to it. This Blanik was a...

Wave soaring camp at Kebnekaise, Sweden, had produced 18 diamonds up until day before yesterday. Probably there will be a few more during the rest of this week. Some pictures from the camp at http://www.flightforum.fi/forum/index.php?topic=64714 t. Timo

Anyone going there this easter? Never been there before, now we have a group of 3 about to travel there for a week or so. Timo

Does anyone have any inside info on the pros / cons of buying a 1-35. I am interested in learning cross country. I am mostly looking to hear from any current or former 1-35 owners. Thanks, Tim W

I have had several health issues and quite frankly little time to fly so I've flown this glider only 3 times since it arrived in the USA this year. I also own partnerships in 4 other gliders that I share expences with and and flown only 1 flight in 1 of these this year so I am glider poor and need...

Please note that as of November 9th Wings & Wheels has a new home I have since having had some medical issues in the past year had to think about how much I could continue the pace and remain in control of running all business operations should something more seriously happen. I also turned 62...

Hello All: While progress has not been as quick as we had hoped for, plans are moving forward to take the GP 14 E Motorglider to first flight very early in the new year and then for first customer deliveries soon after just in time for the beginning of the European racing calendar. For a taste of...

Good Evening All: After a very long wait, the GP 14 Velo took to the air yesterday (November 24th) from Krosno, Poland by both aero-tow and electric self-launch. More details to come but check GP Gliders on FaceBook for pictures and video. First pilot reports are very good. We are finally...

I would definitely fly a USA/North American GP - so long as I could find a competitive glider to borrow/rent. Yes, my means keep me stuck in Club Class :-( , but my ambitions are high :-) You know, there is mostly NOTHING but $$$'s stopping interested US pilots from going overseas and competing...
