I googled a bit but came up with nothing very useful as of yet. Does anyone know of a (preferably US...) supplier of Interglas fabrics? I only need a few yards of both 92125 and 92145, for which I can find no direct alternative equivalents for. Alternatively, if anyone has some of this stuff on...

Anyone here know the diameter of a Jantar Std3 axle? (or SZD-59 axle, or any other Polish ship that happens to use the same axle...) My ships' far away and I'm scheming right now, lacking numbers. The manuals etc speak not of it. Thx. -Paul

For a little gas on the fire...I'm curious. Besides the P-124 Aviator by Rigging Innovations: http://www.rigginginnovations.com/products/aviator.htm or having Softie put a ram air in one of their harnesses, what other square emergency rigs are out there as options and which do you 'squares'...

Here's something you don't see every day. http://www.inhabitat.com/2008/07/15/roland-cernats-energy-efficient-oriens-glider/ Although it seems like there may be a 'little work' left to bring this to fruition, it is still gets me all warm and fuzzy to see people reaching in directions like...

Can anyone point me to some good sources for computer modeled pressure distribution charts for sailplanes? (particularly fuselages) I have googled plenty with little results so I figured I would ask here. I found some in my OSTIV publications I have looked through, but I have most of the Technical...

Subject line says it fine, but I'm looking for someone in Newport Beach CA to assist me with a simple glider related affair I cannot effect from Oakland. PM/call me is so, and thanks in advance! -Paul paul at eaglebrandproducts dotttt commmmm (510) 535-1946

There usually seems to be someone that wants a deal on a B-40, and they rarely show up used. It's 57mm, almost new w/paperwork, and the guy wants 175GBP for it.

Hi All, An SSA 'Master' CFIG I know is perpetually hammering it into his students that to initiate a turn in a glider, the FIRST thing you do is feed in rudder. On his 1-5 list of making a turn in a glider, #1 is rudder (as it's own separate input). While this may be aerodynamically acceptable...
