polyurethane finishes by
[email protected]
Hi all,
I just purchased a glider with a factory PU finish. I'd like to know more about them, including:
- best practices for maintenance
- failure modes
- method for repairing minor dings etc.
- causes of wear and tear
I am pretty familiar with gelcoat but know very little about PU.

ADS-B Out rebate from the FAA by
Ron Gleason
While is does not apply to gliders, well maybe motor gliders?, the FAA has started offering a rebate to folks single engine aircraft when they install appropriate equipment.
Better then a sharp stick in the eye!

Most amusing un-landout by
Steve Leonard
Not quite along the same lines, but still a good story.
I flew out about 45 miles to the West of Sunflower
(Near Hutchinson, KS) one not so great looking day.
I got to an airport I had landed at the weekend before
when trying to fly home from another glider field out
in Western Kansas. 'Neat,' I...

Looks like a blatant Craggy Aero advertisement. Any type of hard or

France and Germany, and a radical change in attitudes from Denmark to

loved Bill...

made a valiant attempt at silver distance/altitude today. managed to
wrangle a towpilot and got a launch about 2 PM. altitude and the 50
km (w/1% rule factored) were the goal. I had done the math and knew
