The rules say you may not exchange aircraft or even major components. I belive there is an exception that a component may be replaced with an exact replacement if the original compenent has been damaged through no fault of the pilot or crew. Here are the exact rules for regional contests: 6.1...

http://webpages.charter.net/engreenwell/ASA/DG400%20accident%20(Se im).htm seems to outline some of the advantages and disadvantages of a motorglider. I must say, however, that motorgliders seem to be a great idea to me mostly for self-launch/self-retrieve. In air restarts seem pretty sketchy,...

It appears that a third S-H aircraft has broken up in flight this season. Rather than giving private assurances/explanations to individual S-H owners, could someone in-the-know please tell us what is going on?

In article , says... It seems clear that the glider must have the same major components throughout the contest as during the first contest flight. But is it OK for a motorglider pilot to remove the engine and fly...

I just received a pair of the Sunreader Pilot sunglasses from http://www.macsee.com/sunreader.htm I haven't used them in flight yet, but they seem to be superior overall compared to the other sunglasses I have when used with stick- on bifocals. The stick-ons introduce another two surfaces to...

It is 2003. There are gliders and motorless gliders. Mike Borgelt

Boy, if I were competing, I would look hard at buying a motorglider and then learn how to remove and install the engine correctly. It sure sounds like a win-win to me. Two gliders for the price of one? Hmmm...I guess I'd also want one with ballast so I could have that option with the motor...

A PW-6 two-seater + Aluminum Avionic trailer + 6 cyl Honda Accord = Incredible mobility. Kris and I just completed a 3500-mile trip with the PW-6 from Halifax to Boston to Toronto to Ottawa to Montreal and return at normal highway speeds. The trailer was absolutely stable the whole way. Soaring...

As a winter project I have brought my fuselage home to fix it up alittle and re-finish it . My question is, just how much time I should spend contouring, smoothing ect. as to not be wasting my time and money vs. getting another L/D for my trouble? It's in pretty good conditon, a bit of peeling...

Well, I did another 10 Young Eagle rides over the weekend. How about you? A reminder that if just one individual at every Club and FBO in the country would do a half dozen each month, the american soaring community could add 10,000 to EAA's total and bring them up to the 1 million mark by...

Excellent points, may I suggest a slight change... must be capable of spinning, but not so spin prone that it's dangerous. Obviously, you want a glider that will spin for spin training. If it spins with little warnin, or doesn't like to recover, then it's dangerous. NigelPocock wrote: There...

Question: At what point should the glider pilot release from the aero retrieve? I, not wanting to land out more than once on any given day, prefer to consider the tow pilot and make sure HE or SHE is within gliding distance of the target airport before releasing. Just wondering what the proper...

I heard Arnie flew gliders (sorry sailplanes) esp the LS6 anyone know if this is true? or of other mega celeb type glider pilots.
