Note that a major performance factor is maximum wing
loading -- not just L/D! I was being left behind in strong conditions
by gliders that could fly much higher wing loadings than my CZ.
Ted is really into this high wing loading thing. ...

SeeYou on a Mac by

I've been using Parallels to run Windows on my MacBook laptop so I can
run SeeYou and I've found it works really well and at very good speed.

ASW 20 Handling Issues? by
[email protected]
The ASW 20 seems to have a reputation for bad behavior in some configurations. Is this reputation deserved or overblown? What has been the experience of those who have owned and flown the glider? Are some variants of the 20 better or worse in terms of handling characteristics?

Discus b versus Discus CS by
[email protected]
I've read that the Discus b and Discus CS are "identical" except that the CS is manufactured under license in Czech Republic. Both are, of course, available in the used-glider-market. Are there any differences in reliability, manufacturing qualty, etc that would favor one over the other?

ASW27a Water Ballast Bag removal by
[email protected]
Has anybody had involvement with the removal of ASW27a Water Ballast Bags? In particular is it possible to disconnect the bag from the wing dump valve by means of the inner large knurled bag connector rather than dismantling the valve from the wing itself.
