the wings. The 17.6 Meter wing extensions are completely fine. The Masak winglets are fine. (one has a small crack, easily...

Matthieu
Dear expert soaring pilots,
What would be a nice metal equivalent of the KA6E or Foka 4?
I am asking because those ships are 40+ years old now and I am
concerned about the aging wood... Should I be concerned?
Is there any relevant metal alternative to those ships? I would also be
interested in...

Pegasus or ....? by
Mike125
I'm looking to move up a level from my ASW 15. Ideally, I'd like an LS
4 but they are few and far between. A couple of Pegasuses (Pegasi?)
are listed on W&W and seem to be reasonably priced for what you get. I
am in the US and am aware of the 3000 hr issue but don't fly enough
for that to be a...

Futuristic sailplane on December 1967 Soaring cover by
John White
I've been fascinated by this unusual image on the cover of Soaring
magazine:
http://soaringweb.org/Soaring_Index/1967/1967Dec_full.jpg
I always assumed it was a reaction to the movie 2001 since it bears a
distinct resemblance to the spaceplane in that movie, but recently
realised that it...
