My best of 2016 by [email protected]
I had a really good year in soaring with a number of great memories. I think my favorite for this year was watching my friend Walter Cannon fly our 1-26, serial number 2 at the IVSM. It had been 61 years since he last flew that same glider. Priceless. Anybody else have a great 2016 memory? Happy...

Discus Aileron Seals by Peter F[_2_]
In Richard Johnson's flight test of the original Discus he replaces the mylar seals with internal fabric seals & gets a noticeable improvement in performance. The mylar on my Discus CS is 20years old & starting to lift in places, so I will need to replace it. Has anyone out there done the...

Silicon free polishes? by Bernie[_4_]
Hello folks, it's annual time and we plan to give our LS1-f a bit of a buff and polish. A product called NuFinish was recommended, however a quick Google search finds that it contains silicon and I understand that this is not a good thing should any future repairs be required. Is this correct, or...

Grease recommendation by Bastoune
Looking for a good grease recommendation for general use around the glider (main pins, ball fittings, etc.). Something locally available in the US would be preferred! Anything that I should definitely stay away from? Thanks, Bastoune

Cable vs rope pulling glider from field by Auxvache
I'd like to make a stout wire cable or rope with proper TOST ring, to have on hand should I have to tow my 15m glider from mud/soft dirt/ guano. Is a metal cable necessary/preferable, or would high breaking-strength rope be sufficient? My only experience here (Chester loam, Pegase, and stick-shift...

How to - Tint a Plexiglass Canopy by Spam
I would like to tint the canopy on my asw-15. I have heard that plexiglass does have gasses that are constantly released and will damage regular car tint applied to it. Would static cling tint sold from homedepot work for it? Anyone ever seen or heard of a glider tinted with film? The curvature...

175 or 250 watt transponder? by Itsaplane
Needing a replacment, my transponder shop told me that above 15k' the FAR's require a 250 watt transponder (125w below 15k'). True? I'm pretty sure that sailplane owners are mostly installing 175 watt units and flying them to 18k' (and higher in wave windows). Right? If this 15k' rule is real,...

I have been around this game for a bit and have made all kind of flights, straight out flights, out and return flights, and the Bloody Triangle.
