Greetings, While doing some minor maintenance, the canopy of the PW-5 that I was working on auto jettisoned it's canopy on the ground. Others around said this was a somewhat known issue and this had happened before after a firm landing. I noticed there are 3 contact points between the support...

How many 300s, 500s or diamond heights have you done? We all do these tasks maybe many many times, but would it be nice if say when. You do 50 300s or 25 diamond heights there should be a new award? Maybe a diamond with some scrambled egg underneath the badge or say for 300s and 500s maybe ...

After a couple of years parked, my flowmeter has lost its ball. I think it's just stuck at the bottom of the tube. Needle valve still regulates oxy flow, but no way to read the rate. Is this common, is it fixable, or must I replace the unit? Ian

Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms out there. For you kids: -if you are with her, give her another hug -if you are not with her, CALL! -if you forgot... ouch! You know she's grabbing the "keys" to your glider for the next week! No soaring for you! ;-) Best wishes.

Is anyone making Russia sailplane replacement canopies.

Hi all. I have started building a larger plane but due to health issues at age 71 I though maybe I should rachet it down some. I have only flown c 172's and a Piper Warrior. So I bought the plans for the Sands and am wondering if I should make the tube fuselage or the wood one. My skills are wood...

Anybody have one for sale as IMI have stopped making it or lost the mould.
