Hi all, I am looking into purchasing a Elfe S-4. Can anybody with first-hand experience comment on the flight characteristics? Are there any bad points to watch out for? Would this be a ship for a low-time pilot, who has some solo time in a Std.Astir and TwinAstir? Do S-4s have a nose hook and a...

Hi, I recently announced my inventory reduction sale. The goal was to offer very good deals on a few items that were not in my inventory and not selling well. It appears that soaring pilots like a good deal because many of the items sold very quickly to glider pilots around the world. There...

Hi, I have an Astir CS77, a fine but venerable glass machine. I am refurbishing the cockpit, panel, and so on. Having got the panel to bits I am looking at the best way of putting it all back together. So: 1) I have two static systems, a forward system and a rear one. In the current...

Anyone flown with Soar Minden lately? When does the fall wave get going? Gary

I am in the market for a sailplane and am having a difficult time in choosing among five of them. They all seem to be one or two generations before current "state of the art" aircraft. The ones that I am interested in are as follows: DG-300,LS-4,LS-6,Discus B,& ASW-19. I realize that the LS-6 is...

Some build ups, so, like whats the problem man. Like none, 7V blew the doors off in Standard at 93 mph. KS ran around 90 mph in Sports. Then comes P7, like 98 mph in 15 Meter. The weather did have bumpers in all areas. Standards had a AST, 15 Meters changed to a 1 turn MAT with a 3 hour window....
