If anyone knows where I could find either a complete frame AND plexi canopy for the rear cockpit of a Twin Astir (not Twin II) I'd appreciate the help. Our Canadian Freedoms Wings program for paraplegic pilots is at a standstill as we've broken our rear canopy. Its a frustrating position to be in...

I read through a good number of the posts and understand the history & issues faced with the Slovanian DG500 Elan Orions entering the US. Does anyone know what the story is on them now? Have the CofAs been cancelled? And finally, can anyone confirm that the non Elan-Orion produced DG500s are not...

What happens if we handicap pilots instead of aircraft..... Have a handicap card for each pilot airplane combination. If I can consistantly get 50% of the possible points earned by the days winner, I would get a series of normalization factors (2.00) that over time would reflect my...

Hi, I ran across an article in Soaring about the Zanonia RS-1. Does anyone know if it is in a museum somewhere, or where it is? Thanks, John
