Older glass glider refinishing question by Gus Rasch
Group, I am considering the purchase of an older glass bird in my local area. It has sat for quite a while and the finish is not the best. Specifically, someone shot Imron over the original gelcoat at some point in the past. (rather than take it down and refinish it correctly.) The Imron is now...

Vans RV-G glider by Mark James Boyd
Hmmm.... I was wondering if metal gliders have an L/D disadvantage due to the metal, or because of the lousy rivets and poor wing airfoil and draggy struts (of the SGS gliders, for example). Is it possible to make a retract gear metal glider with flush rivets and a carry-through spar which would...

Newbie question by Bill Gribble
Completely daft newbie question that I'm hoping will have a simple answer. Mention is frequently made of the term L/D, which I know is an abbreviation of Lift / Drag. For example, the L/D cited in an advert for a Ka6 recently was "L/d 33" If L/D is the Lift/Drag ratio, why are the figures...

Following the fatal crash of a Cessna 150/150 hp two plane, due to a burned throughj elevator cable, two of us tow pilots experimented with pitch trim on...

Winch Way Is Up !! by Craig Freeman
It's intriguing how much attention any post about winch launching seems to generate here on RAS. I must admit I, like most here in the USA, cried "foul" or was it"fool" any time one would suggest that winching could be a viable alternative to the much perferred aero tow. Shame on me. Perhaps it's...
