O2 Flowmeter Management by

tubing?
I have a Standard Jantar and would like to mount the flowmeter in the

Cockpit video recording -- the time is now. by
Steve Koerner
I'm sick and tired of reading about glider crashes and never knowing what actually happened. We badly need to be able to learn from the misfortune of our soaring compadres.
The obvious answer is that we all have a camera mounted over our right shoulder that will simultaneously monitor the scene...

Suggestion: wind energy will make gliders cheaper by

They are now now coming out in sizes approaching 50 meters. The market

ASW 20 Handling Issues? by
[email protected]
The ASW 20 seems to have a reputation for bad behavior in some configurations. Is this reputation deserved or overblown? What has been the experience of those who have owned and flown the glider? Are some variants of the 20 better or worse in terms of handling characteristics?
