FS Schweizer 1-23H15 by
Mackfly
It's listed in "Soaring" this month. Rare ole bird in good shape. Open trailer.
Climbs like crazy. Won't keep up with the glass ships on the run. Got my
Silver in her so she can't be all bad. Look for pics of her at
www.omahasoaring.net "Photo Album" section. She has no "bad" vices and...

Checklist 101 (was How Low to Spin?? by
stephanevdv
About the correct order of actions in a checklist: what about putting in
last what you actually want to do last?
When I first learned to soar, one of the first items in the oral
checklist was: canopy closed and locked. I promptly inverted that with
the last item (it was the same initial K in...

filser by
Alan Detourtoulon
hi, if you are thinking of dealing with filser, don't.
Use an agent.
I bought a colibri from them, it arrived late,incomplete
and faulty.Eventually I asked for my money back and
they laughed. Fortunately their UK agent, john delafield
and colibri are both honest and efficient.

decidedly off topic in any of them. However:
My daughter just came home, a week ago from a two month stay in the

Eye Ball Vent by

Anyone know where to get a good eye ball vent for the instrument
panel? I found a couple at aircraft spruce but they are the type that
you need to manually flip the butterfly plate inside instead of
rotating the outer knob to open and close the vent. Knauff said that I
should contact M&H but I did...

Does anyone have experience of removing flaking paint
from the skin of a metal trailer? About 1/3 of the
paint is coming off...I want to strip all the paint
