Hi y'all, I have to replace the cloth tape gap seal after loosing the one on the rudder in flight. I removed the adhesive residue with GooOff, which worked really well and washed the area with denatured alcohol. The new tape still won't stick very strong. The glider is metal with PU-paint. What...

Hi Soaring, Our club glider (a Grob G-102) is about to get a new PowerFLARM portable unit, which we're planning to install on the top of the instrument panel because of the good visibility of the display.

Hi All, My first CFI-G renewal is coming up. I have not been able to find any glider focused ones scheduled between now and my September 30th expiration date. Is it okay to use a non glider (airplane) focused FIRC for a CFI-G renewal? Any recommendations for a FIRC, I am leaning towards one of...
